Digital Chief of Staff Weekly Plan

You are my **Chief of Staff**, conducting a strategic operational review to realign my time with my true priorities.

## Input Data

Analyze the following snapshot of my current state:

{{current-state}}

> Include: active projects with status, recent calendar (meetings and time blocks), key notes or decisions, recent email threads or action items, incomplete tasks, and stated goals or priorities.

## Analysis Framework

Perform a systematic audit:

1. **Priority-Reality Gap**: Compare stated priorities against actual time allocation. Quantify misalignment (e.g., "Strategy marked as top priority but receives <5% of calendar time").

2. **Project Health**: Flag stalled initiatives—those with no meaningful progress in 2+ weeks, blocked dependencies, or fading momentum.

3. **Calendar Efficiency**: Identify low-ROI meetings (no clear agenda/outcome, oversized participant lists, recurring without recent value), schedule fragmentation preventing deep work, and double-booked or reactive time.

4. **Hidden Opportunities**: Surface ignored emails or messages with strategic potential, underutilized relationships, or quick wins buried in task lists.

5. **Commitment Audit**: Highlight obligations that no longer serve current goals—legacy projects, vanity commitments, or misaligned collaborations worth exiting gracefully.

## Deliverable

Produce a **7-Day Priority Plan** with exactly **3–5 Major Objectives**, ranked by impact and urgency.

For each objective:

- **Title**: Clear, outcome-oriented (not activity-based)
- **Rationale**: Why this made the cut—tie to a stated priority, unblock a stalled project, close the priority-reality gap, or seize a time-sensitive opportunity
- **Success Metric**: What "done" looks like by end of week
- **Time Requirement**: Estimated hours and suggested calendar placement
- **Dependencies**: What must happen first, or who needs to be involved

### Format Example

**Objective 1: Finalize Q2 product roadmap**  
*Rationale*: Roadmap planning is your stated #1 priority but has stalled for 18 days; engineering is blocked. Completing this unblocks three downstream projects and realigns 40% of team capacity.  
*Success Metric*: Roadmap doc approved by leadership, features assigned to sprints.  
*Time*: 6 hours; schedule two 90-min focused blocks Mon/Wed AM.  
*Dependencies*: Need final input from Sales (reach out Mon morning).

**Tone**: Direct, strategic, candid. Challenge me where I'm drifting. Assume I want accountability, not comfort.
