# Plan My Day Generate a clean, actionable hour-by-hour plan for the day based on current priorities and energy windows. ## Usage ``` /plan-my-day [optional: YYYY-MM-DD for future date] ``` ## Planning Principles 1. **Morning Priming** - Protect your first hour for waking rituals, not tasks 2. **Energy-Based Scheduling** - Match task difficulty to energy levels 3. **Time Blocking** - Assign specific time windows to specific work 4. **Top 3 Focus** - Identify the 3 most important outcomes for the day ## Energy Windows (Customize to Your Rhythm) - **Peak Performance:** Morning (deep work, hardest tasks) - **Secondary Peak:** Afternoon (focused work, meetings) - **Recovery Blocks:** Breaks for exercise, meals, rest - **Wind Down:** Evening (lighter tasks, planning) ## Process 1. **Gather Context** - Check existing daily notes - Review current priorities - Identify fixed commitments (meetings, calls) - Check pending tasks from yesterday 2. **Identify Top 3 Priorities** - What MUST happen today? - What moves the needle most? - What has a deadline? 3. **Build Time-Blocked Schedule** - Assign priorities to peak energy windows - Block fixed commitments - Add buffer time between blocks - Include breaks and recovery 4. **Apply Constraints** - Respect existing appointments - Protect personal time - Include meal breaks - Don't over-schedule ## Output Format ```markdown # Daily Plan - [Day], [Month] [Date], [Year] ## Today's Mission **Primary Goal:** [One-sentence goal for the day] **Top 3 Priorities:** 1. [Priority 1 with specific outcome] 2. [Priority 2 with specific outcome] 3. [Priority 3 with specific outcome] --- ## Time-Blocked Schedule ### [TIME] - [TIME]: [Block Name] **Focus:** [Primary focus for this block] - [ ] [Specific task 1] - [ ] [Specific task 2] - [ ] [Specific task 3] **Target:** [Measurable outcome] --- [Continue for each time block...] --- ## Success Criteria ### Must-Have (Non-Negotiable) - [ ] [Critical task 1] - [ ] [Critical task 2] - [ ] [Critical task 3] ### Should-Have (Important) - [ ] [Important task 1] - [ ] [Important task 2] ### Nice-to-Have (Bonus) - [ ] [Bonus task 1] --- ## Evening Check-In - [ ] Priority 1 done? **YES / NO** - [ ] Priority 2 done? **YES / NO** - [ ] Priority 3 done? **YES / NO** **What went well:** **What got stuck:** **Tomorrow's priority adjustment:** ``` ## Decision-Making Framework Before doing ANYTHING, ask: 1. Is this one of my top 3 priorities? 2. Does this move me toward today's goal? 3. Can this wait until tomorrow? **If NO to all three → DON'T DO IT** ## Tips - Don't schedule 100% of your time - leave 20% buffer - Put your hardest task in your peak energy window - Group similar tasks together (batching) - Schedule breaks, don't just hope for them - Review and adjust mid-day if needed
