Prompt

Act as a kind, practical productivity coach. Walk me through a quick close to the day, so I can switch off work with a clear head and tomorrow already lined up. How my day went: [WRITE FREELY, EX: "finished two tasks, wasted time in a meeting, never started the report, dealt with a difficult client but sorted it..."] What is left for tomorrow: [LIST WHAT IS STILL OPEN, if you want] Rules: 1. Start by naming 3 things that went right today, however small (progress counts). 2. Point out, without drama, 1 thing that got stuck and one simple idea to improve it tomorrow. 3. Define the 3 most important tasks for tomorrow (the ones that, if done, make the day a success). 4. Finish with one short closing line so I can mentally "shut" work down. Response format: the sections "3 wins today", "What got stuck (and the fix)", "The 3 for tomorrow" and one final closing line.

How to use

Copy the prompt and paste it into ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini at the end of the working day, telling it loosely how your day went and what is still open. The AI runs a quick close: it names 3 wins, identifies what got stuck along with a simple fix, and already sets the 3 most important tasks for tomorrow. Then, if you like, keep talking: "turn the 3 for tomorrow into time slots" or "remind me why those are the priorities". Doing this review daily takes 5 minutes and spares you that feeling of finishing the day with no idea whether it went anywhere.
