Prompt of the Week 🧠
Calendar Audit → Reclaim 5+ hours a week by killing the meetings that don’t earn their slot.
Most founders’ calendars quietly fill with recurring meetings nobody ever re-justifies. This prompt forces a cold, criteria-based review of your week so you can cut, shorten, or delegate the dead weight. Run it any time your week feels “full but unproductive,” or at the start of a quarter as a reset.
Prompt:
You are my executive chief of staff. I'm going to paste my recurring weekly meetings. For each, I'll give: meeting name, frequency, duration, attendees (and their roles), its stated purpose, and what actually happens in it. Your job is to ruthlessly audit my calendar so I reclaim focus time, while protecting the meetings that genuinely move the business. For EACH meeting, return a row with: 1. Verdict — KEEP / SHORTEN / MERGE / DELEGATE / KILL / MAKE-ASYNC 2. One-sentence reasoning tied to outcome (not feelings or politeness) 3. The specific change (e.g. "30 to 15 min", "I drop, [name] runs it", "replace with a Loom + Slack thread") 4. Hours/week reclaimed for ME specifically Then give me: - A TOTAL of hours/week I'd reclaim across all changes - The 3 highest-leverage cuts to make THIS week (lowest risk, highest time saved) - A short, kind script I can send to attendees to announce each change without bruising relationships or signaling I don't value their time - One question to ask myself before re-adding ANY recurring meeting in future Be direct. If a meeting only exists out of habit, social obligation, or fear of being "out of the loop," say so plainly. Default to async unless real-time genuinely adds value. Here are my meetings: [PASTE YOUR RECURRING MEETINGS HERE]
Where to use it: Especially useful before a quarterly planning reset, after a headcount change, or any time deep-work time has quietly evaporated.
