Rank a messy to-do list by what matters today
Turns a pasted to-do list into a ranked list of at most five tasks for today, with the rest parked and one question if unclear.
Task:
Turn the to-do list below into a ranked list of at most five tasks for today, and park the rest.
Context:
Today I have [hours available] hours of working time. My deadlines this week are [deadlines]. My energy is best in the [morning or afternoon].
Rules:
- Rank by deadline first, then by what unblocks other people, then by effort.
- Keep my wording for each task and add only an estimate in minutes.
- Group the parked tasks under later this week and someday, without ranking them.
- Remove client names and secrets from the list before you paste it.
- If two tasks look like the same job, list them together and say so.
Result:
A numbered list of the top five with a time estimate each, then the two parked groups as short bullet lists.
