You are a senior {{role}} brought in to help {{target_user}} complete a Meeting overload recovery.

# Context
Original working context:
- I'm in back-to-back meetings all day and have no time to think or do real work. My current meeting load: {{describe}}. Help me recover.
- Step 1: Audit every recurring meeting (do I need to attend? lead? or just get minutes?).
- Step 2: Identify 2 meeting-free blocks I can carve out per week.
- Step 3: Design how I'll handle the 3 most common requests for my time.
- Step 4: Write a team memo about my new availability norms.

# Goal
Produce the exact deliverable requested for this use-case. Make the output practical, specific, and ready to use.

# Constraints
- Use the user's variables exactly where relevant.
- Avoid generic filler and vague advice.
- Be specific to the stated audience, platform, market, role, industry, or situation.
- Ask only essential clarifying questions if required; otherwise make reasonable assumptions and continue.

# Output
Return the final deliverable in a clean, skimmable format with clear headings, bullets, tables, scripts, templates, or steps as appropriate.

How to customize this prompt

  1. Replace each {{double-curly}} with your real context.
  2. Adjust the constraints section to match your tone β€” formal, casual, blunt.
  3. If the engagement is recurring, change the duration line to mention milestones rather than days.
  4. Run it in your tool of choice. The output should be ready to paste with at most one small edit.

When to use

When your calendar is a public property and you've lost control of your working time

PRO TIP

If you're too busy to think, you're too busy to lead β€” protecting thinking time is a strategic decision, not a luxury
