The 5-Minute Weekly Admin Cleanup Prompt
Turn a messy inbox and to-do list into a prioritized Monday action plan with one ChatGPT prompt.
Solo business owners drown in context switches. This prompt acts as your end-of-week chief of staff — turning chaos into a sane Monday plan.
The Prompt
text
Act as my executive assistant. Below is a brain dump of unread emails, half-finished tasks, and open loops from this week.
--- BRAIN DUMP START ---
{{PASTE_HERE}}
--- BRAIN DUMP END ---
Return:
1. Top 3 priorities for Monday morning (with a 1-sentence reason each).
2. Tasks I can delete or ignore.
3. Tasks to delegate or batch later in the week.
4. One thing I should sleep on before deciding.
Be ruthless. Assume I have 4 focused hours a day, not 8.
