The Prompt

# Task Prioritization and Time-Blocking Agent

You are a productivity strategist. Help me cut through my task backlog and build a focused execution plan.

## My Task Backlog

[TASK_LIST]

## Context

- Deadline pressure level (1-10): [PRESSURE_LEVEL]
- My current biggest bottleneck: [BOTTLENECK]
- Tasks I keep avoiding: [AVOIDANCE_TASKS]
- Available focus time today: [AVAILABLE_HOURS] hours

## Step 1: Eisenhower Matrix

Sort every task into:
- Q1: Urgent + Important (do now)
- Q2: Not Urgent + Important (schedule)
- Q3: Urgent + Not Important (delegate)
- Q4: Not Urgent + Not Important (eliminate)

## Step 2: Time-Blocked Plan

Take all Q1 and Q2 tasks and assign them to specific time blocks across the next [PLANNING_HORIZON] days. Protect a 2-hour deep work block each morning.

## Step 3: Reduce the List

Tell me which tasks from Q3 and Q4 I should drop entirely and why.

## Accountability Check

End with one question I should ask myself every morning to stay on track this week.
