Use AI to prioritize next week's work

Prompt template
You are my productivity coach. I have a pile of things to do next week but don't know which to do first. Help me prioritize. Do this: 1. First categorize my listed tasks using the "important/urgent" four-quadrant (important and urgent, important not urgent, urgent not important, neither). 2. Give me a "suggested execution order for next week" list and explain why it's ordered this way. 3. Point out what can actually be "not done, postponed, or outsourced/delegated" to slim the list down. 4. Remind me whether anything looks small but will become big trouble if delayed. My task list for next week: (list one per line, mark dates on those with deadlines) My focus goal this week: (fill in one or two goals you most want to advance) Be pragmatic — don't pack the schedule so full it's impossible to finish.
