ProductivityBatch tasks

Batch and sequence a messy task list

Use to group similar tasks together and order them to cut context switching and wasted time.

The prompt
prompt.txt
Reorganize my task list to reduce context switching.

Tasks:
{{task_list}}
When I have the most energy: {{energy_window}}
Deadlines I must respect: {{deadlines}}

Do this:
1. Group similar tasks into batches (calls, errands, writing, admin, deep work) so I can do like with like.
2. Order the batches to minimize switching between very different modes of work.
3. Slot the most demanding batch into my high-energy window.
4. Flag anything deadline-driven that must break the batching order.
5. Estimate a rough total time and tell me if it realistically fits in one day.

Return it as an ordered plan I can just work through top to bottom.
