# Context
Original working context:
- Step 1: Weekly Review (30 minutes, Sunday or Monday morning): Close last week: list wins, note incomplete items and why, and identify the single biggest lesson. Then open next week: list all upcoming commitments and tasks.
- Step 2: Priority Filtering: From your full task list, identify the 3 Most Important Tasks (MITs) for the week — the ones that, if only these were accomplished, would make the week a success.
- Step 3: Calendar Blocking: Schedule your 3 MITs as specific calendar blocks during your peak energy hours. Treat them as unmovable appointments.
- Step 4: Pre-Mortems: For each MIT, ask: What is most likely to prevent me from completing this? Then schedule one specific action to prevent that exact obstacle before it can appear. 📌

# 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 — 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 weeks feel reactive and you want a structured ritual to start each week with clarity and intention. ✅

PRO TIP

The pre-mortem in Step 4 is the most underused step in any planning system. Naming the obstacle in advance and pre-solving it dramatically increases completion rates.
