What this skill does
Plan My Day Generate a clean, actionable hour-by-hour plan for the day based on current priorities and energy windows. Usage Planning Principles 1. Morning Priming - Protect your first hour for waking rituals, not tasks 2. Energy-Based Scheduling - Match task difficulty to energy levels 3. Time Blocking - Assign specific time windows to specific work 4. Top 3 Focus - Identify the 3 most important outcomes for the day Energy Windows (Customize to Your Rhythm) Peak Performance: Morning (deep work, hardest tasks) Secondary Peak: Afternoon (focused work, meetings) Recovery Blocks: Breaks for exercise, meals, rest Wind Down: Evening (lighter tasks, planning) Process 1. Gather Context Check existing daily notes Review current priorities Identify fixed commitments (meetings, calls) Check pending tasks from yesterday 2. Identify Top 3 Priorities What MUST happen today? What moves the needle most? What has a deadline? 3. Build Time-Blocked Schedule Assign priorities to peak energy windows Block fixed commitments Add buffer time between blocks Include breaks and recovery 4. Apply Constraints Respect existing appointments Protect personal time Include meal breaks Don't over-schedule Output Format Decision-Making Framework Before doing ANYTHING, ask: 1. Is this one of my top 3 priorities? 2. Does this move me toward today's goal? 3. Can this wait until tomorrow? If NO to all three → DON'T DO IT Tips Don't schedule 100% of your time - leave 20% buffer Put your hardest task in your peak energy window Group similar tasks together (batching) Schedule breaks, don't just hope for them Review and adjust mid-day if needed
