Task Prioritization
The 'be ruthless' instruction and available-hours constraint force realistic prioritization instead of optimistic planning. Suggested push-back language makes saying no easier.
I have the following tasks on my plate this week. Help me prioritize them.\n\nTasks:\n{{task_list}}\n\nMy available hours this week: {{available_hours}}\nKey deadline: {{key_deadline}}\n\nFor each task, assess:\n- **Impact**: How much does completing this move the needle? (High / Medium / Low)\n- **Urgency**: When does this actually need to be done? (Today / This week / Can wait)\n- **Effort**: How long will this realistically take? (hours)\n- **Dependencies**: Does anything else depend on this being done?\n\nThen provide:\n1. A prioritized daily plan for the week (Mon-Fri)\n2. Tasks to delegate or defer with reasoning\n3. Tasks to say no to or push back on, with a suggested response to the requester\n\nBe ruthless — if the hours do not add up, something has to go.
