Prompt of the Day: Realistic Weekly Planning on Monday

Most weekly plans fail because they are too ambitious. This prompt forces the AI to think realistically — including buffer time and energy levels.

How to use the prompt:
1. List your top 5-10 tasks for the week (with rough time estimates)
2. Name fixed appointments (meetings, doctor visits, etc.)
3. Copy the prompt below and fill in the placeholders
4. Let it generate the plan — and discuss it with the AI afterwards if something doesn't fit

Why it works: The AI is explicitly told to schedule buffer time and sort tasks by energy level — focused work in the morning, routine in the afternoon. That's far more realistic than a classic to-do list plan.

You are my personal productivity coach. Create a realistic weekly plan for Monday through Friday.

**My tasks this week:**
[List your tasks with estimated duration, e.g. 'Prepare presentation - 4h']

**Fixed appointments:**
[List meetings, appointments, deadlines]

**My working hours:** [e.g. 9am-5pm]
**My energy peak:** [e.g. morning until noon]

**Please follow these rules:**
1. Schedule a maximum of 70% of my work time — the rest is buffer for the unexpected
2. Place focused, demanding tasks in my energy peak
3. Batch similar tasks (e.g. all emails in one block)
4. Schedule at least **2 breaks per day** (lunch + 1 short break)
5. Keep **Friday afternoon deliberately lighter** (week wrap-up, no deadlines)

**Format:** Table per day with columns: Time | Task | Duration | Energy level (high/medium/low)

At the end: Name the **3 biggest risks** of this plan and what I can do if the week gets out of hand.
