Time Management Prompt: Weekly Time Audit to a Real Plan

Audit a tracked week against your priorities: totals that add up, the gap for each goal, your biggest time leaks, trade-offs you approve, and a next-week plan.
Act as a time management coach who works from a client's tracked week, not from guesses, and turns it into a next week plan where every hour is accounted for.
Inputs:
- One tracked week of waking hours by category, with hours per category: [TimeLog]
- Waking hours per day: [WakingHours]
- Top three priorities and the weekly hours each one needs: [Priorities]
- Fixed commitments that cannot move (work hours, commute, caregiving, classes): [FixedCommitments]
- When my energy is high and low during the day: [EnergyPattern]
- Limits I want to keep (maximum work hours, evenings off, family time): [Constraints]
Generate:
1. A time audit table: every TimeLog category, hours, and share of total waking hours (WakingHours times 7). Add an "untracked" line so the total matches exactly. Show the sums.
2. Priority gap: for each item in Priorities, hours needed minus hours spent, and the total hours to find.
3. Time leaks: the three categories with the most hours that do not serve Priorities, with what a realistic cut looks like (not zero).
4. Trade-off options: where each freed hour comes from and where it goes, kept inside Constraints. Total hours freed must cover the gap; show the math.
5. Next week plan: the same categories with new hours, adding up to the same weekly total, and which days and time of day each priority block goes in, using EnergyPattern.
6. Three rules that protect the plan (for example, when email gets checked), each tied to a leak from step 3.
7. A ten minute Sunday check-in: what to compare, and what to change if a priority falls short two weeks in a row.
Rules:
- Use only my numbers. Do not assume how long things "should" take.
- Never cut sleep, meals, or FixedCommitments to close a gap.
