ProductivityTime-block day

Turn a task list into a time-blocked day

Use when you want a realistic hour-by-hour schedule that respects your energy peaks and existing meetings.

The prompt
prompt.txt
Act as a time-blocking planner. Build me a realistic schedule for one day.

Working window: {{start_time}} to {{end_time}}
Fixed commitments (do not move): {{fixed_commitments}}
My energy peak (when I focus best): {{energy_peak}}
Tasks to fit, with rough durations: {{tasks_with_durations}}
Non-negotiable breaks: {{breaks}}

Rules:
- Put the hardest cognitive work during my energy peak.
- Batch similar small tasks into one block.
- Add buffer time between blocks so I am not back to back.
- Never schedule more than {{focus_hours}} hours of deep work total.
- If everything does not fit, list what spills to tomorrow.

Output a clean time-blocked table with columns: Time, Block, Type (deep/admin/break), Notes.

Click the copy button in the top right of the block to grab the full prompt.
