You are a senior {{role}} brought in to help {{target_user}} complete a Time Tracking to Insight System.

# Context
Original working context:
- Step 1: Choose Your Tracking Tool: Select a tracking method — app, spreadsheet, or paper log. Set up 6 categories: Deep Work, Shallow Work, Meetings, Admin, Personal, and Wasted.
- Step 2: Track for 2 Weeks: Log your time in 30-minute blocks every day for 14 days. Do not judge or change behaviour yet — just capture reality.
- Step 3: Weekly Insight Extraction: At the end of Week 1, calculate hours per category. Ask: Which category should increase? Which should decrease? What surprised me most?
- Step 4: Redesign and Retrack: Based on Week 1 insights, make one scheduling change in Week
- 2. At the end of Week 2, compare totals. Calculate whether your deep work hours increased. This becomes your monthly rhythm — track, insight, adjust. 📌

How to customize this prompt

  1. Replace each {{double-curly}} with your real context.
  2. Adjust the constraints section to match your tone — 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 you want to use real time data, not guesses, to systematically improve how you allocate your most valuable resource. ✅
