Critique Your Daily Routine for Energy and Focus
Your weekday was never designed; it just accumulated, and now your best hours go to email while the hard thinking lands at 4pm. Describe a typical day from waking to sleeping and this audits it against your cognitive rhythms, finding where energy and focus are being wasted. For professionals who suspect their day is fighting them.

Alignment: how much of the day is spent on the person's stated priorities vs reactive tasks? **Suggest three specific changes in order of impact.** </task> <output_format> - Four-dimension audit: one paragraph per dimension - Three changes: numbered, with the reasoning for the priority order - Length: 350-500 words - Tone: Analytical and practical </output_format>
