When to use it

Every weekday morning

Step by step

  1. Turn on your daily agenda email

    In Google Calendar's settings, find the notification options for your calendar and switch on the daily agenda email. Outlook users can connect their AI assistant to the calendar or copy the day view instead.

  2. Connect your assistant if you can

    Gemini with Google Workspace, Copilot in Outlook, or ChatGPT and Claude with a Google Calendar connector can read your calendar directly, if your plan includes it.

  3. Run your morning prompt

    Paste the agenda email (or ask your connected assistant) with this prompt.

    Prompt to copyHere's my calendar for today: [paste agenda or 'read my calendar for today']. My top priority today is [priority]. Give me: 1) A timeline of the day with meetings and free gaps. 2) For each meeting, one line on what to prepare and how long it will take. 3) The best gap for focused work on my priority. 4) Any clashes, back-to-backs with no break, or meetings missing a video link or location. Keep it under 200 words.
  4. Make it a habit

    Create a recurring 10-minute calendar event at the start of each day called 'Plan today', with the prompt pasted in its description.

What you get

9:30 Team stand-up (prep: nothing). 11:00 Supplier call (prep: check last invoice, 5 min). Gap 12:00-14:00: best time for the funding report. 14:00 and 15:00 back-to-back: leave 5 min early. 16:00 Interview: no video link yet, check with HR.
