Critique Your Calendar for Wasted Time
You say one thing matters most, then your calendar quietly says otherwise. This prompt takes a screenshot or summary of your typical week and finds the meetings that add nothing, the blocks that could vanish, and the work your stated priorities never actually get. No-nonsense. Good for anyone who feels permanently busy and oddly unproductive.

Look for the absence of protected time for deep or strategic work **Surface the uncomfortable pattern:** 4. Describe the implicit priority system the calendar reveals, whether or not it matches stated goals 5. Name the single biggest structural change that would recover the most time If the user has not shared a calendar, ask them to describe a typical week before proceeding. </task> <output_format> - Time waste summary: 3-5 bullets, each naming the pattern and the estimated time cost per week - Priority gap: one paragraph contrasting stated priorities with the calendar evidence - One structural recommendation: specific and actionable, not generic - Tone: direct and constructive, not harsh </output_format>
