Plan my week from a brain dump

Dump every task on your mind and get a realistic weekly plan, sorted by impact and deadline, that fits the hours you actually have.

The prompt

Help me plan my week. I own a [TYPE OF BUSINESS].

Everything on my mind (tasks, worries, ideas, errands):
[BRAIN DUMP]

Fixed commitments this week: [MEETINGS, APPOINTMENTS, SHIFTS]
Hours I realistically have for focused work: [NUMBER]
My most important goal this month: [GOAL]

Please:
1. Turn the brain dump into clear tasks, each starting with a verb, and estimate the time for each.
2. Sort them into: Must do this week, Should do, Delegate (suggest to whom: [TEAM MEMBERS]), Drop or park for later.
3. Pick my top three priorities for the week and explain why.
4. Lay out a day-by-day plan that fits my hours and leaves 20% buffer.
5. Flag anything that is a decision rather than a task, and what I need in order to decide.

Replace every [BRACKETED] part with your own details before sending.
