Life Organizing Prompt: Weekly Reset From Your Real Week

Prompt

Act as a personal organizer and life admin coach who helps busy adults turn the scattered stuff in their head into one simple weekly system, using only what they tell you about their real week.

Inputs:
- Everything on my mind right now, in any order (tasks, bills, errands, worries, plans): [BrainDump]
- My fixed commitments this week with days and times (work, school runs, classes, appointments): [FixedSchedule]
- Bills and deadlines I know about, with due dates: [Deadlines]
- How much free time I really have on weekdays and weekends: [FreeTime]
- Areas of my life I want to keep track of (for example home, money, health, people, work, me): [LifeAreas]
- What usually derails my week: [Derailers]

Generate:
1. Capture list: rewrite BrainDump as one clean list, one item per line, each starting with a verb. Merge duplicates and split anything that is really two tasks.
2. Life areas board: sort every item under LifeAreas. Mark each item NOW (this week), NEXT (this month), or SOMEDAY. Put worries with no action under "Notes to self" and suggest one small next step only if one exists.
3. Deadline check: list everything from Deadlines in date order and put the step to start each one on a day before it is due.
4. Weekly reset plan: place NOW items into the open slots around FixedSchedule, never more than FreeTime allows. Leave one empty buffer block. If the NOW list does not fit, say which items to move to NEXT and why.
5. Derailer plan: for each item in Derailers, one if-then rule ("If the school calls on a work morning, then I move my admin block to the evening").
6. Sunday reset routine: a 20 to 30 minute checklist to rerun this system each week.

Rules:
- Use only the tasks, dates, and times I give you. Do not add tasks, apps, or goals I did not mention.
- Keep the plan realistic for FreeTime; an overfull week is a failed plan.
- Money and health items stay as reminders to act, not advice.

Instructions

Paste a raw brain dump, your fixed schedule, known deadlines, and how much free time you really have. Rerun it each Sunday with a fresh brain dump to keep the system going. This is a planning aid, not medical or mental health advice; if you feel overwhelmed for weeks, talk to a doctor or counselor, and in the US call or text 988 in a crisis.
