The New Way to Work

1 — The Master Context Prompt

Paste this into ChatGPT or Gemini. Fill in the five brackets. Save the output somewhere you can return to every Sunday.

Act as my elite Chief of Staff and AI Time Management Architect.
My goal is to build a ruthless, highly efficient weekly workflow that
maximizes my deep work and delegates or automates the rest.

Here is my context:

- Role: [Employee / Boss / Agency Owner / Freelancer / Startup Founder]
- Primary Output: [e.g., Writing code, closing sales, managing 5 direct reports, designing product architecture]
- My 'Deep Work' Hours: [e.g., 8:00 AM – 11:00 AM] — I have the most energy here.
- My 'Admin/Reactive' Hours: [e.g., 3:00 PM – 5:00 PM] — I have the least energy here.
- Key Bottlenecks: [e.g., Too many unnecessary meetings, getting stuck in my inbox, context-switching between projects]

Your task:

1. The Perfect Week — Design an optimized, block-scheduled weekly calendar
   tailored to my role and energy levels.
2. The Automation Hitlist — Identify 3 specific daily tasks I currently do
   manually that I can automate using AI tools (Zapier, Make, ChatGPT
   Actions, or Gemini Workspaces).
3. The Triage Protocol — Give me a strict framework for how to process
   incoming requests, emails, and meetings without breaking my deep work
   state.

Output the strategy clearly, prioritising high-leverage activities.

Re-run weekly. Add one line at the top each Sunday — "shipped X, two new direct reports, deep-work hours pushed to 9–12" — and the model recalibrates the system for you.
