Productivity and personal life

Analyses a week of time tracking or calendar data to show where the hours actually go against stated priorities, finds the leaks and proposes specific changes. Use when busy but not productive.

Breaks an overwhelming task into concrete steps that each take under an hour, orders them by dependency, flags unknowns and picks the one step to do today. Use when a big task feels impossible.

Builds a reusable checklist for a recurring procedure such as travel prep, month-end or event setup, ordered by timing, with pause points, commonly missed steps and a way to keep it current.

Acts as a chief of staff who runs the operating cadence, tracks priorities and decisions, prepares leaders for key moments and turns ambiguity into owned actions with dates.

Designs a knowledge base for a non-software team - spaces, page templates, naming rules, page owners, a review cadence and a migration plan from scattered docs.

Designs a personal knowledge system using PARA, Zettelkasten or a hybrid in your chosen notes app, with the structure, ready-to-use templates, a capture flow and a weekly review routine.

Turns highlights from an article or book into atomic, linkable notes written as claims in plain words, with source references, link suggestions and prompts for the reader's own takeaways.

Designs a folder structure and file naming convention that fits how you work, plus a safe step-by-step cleanup plan and a short routine to keep files tidy. Use when finding files takes too long.

Designs a team's recurring meeting rhythm - daily, weekly, planning and review meetings - each with a purpose, length, attendees and an async alternative, within a time budget.

Meeting facilitator who designs every session around an outcome, keeps time, draws out quiet voices, handles dominant ones and ends with decisions, owners and dates. For teams and leaders.

Writes a one-page pre-meeting brief with your goal and fallback, each attendee's likely position, questions to ask, objections to expect and what a good outcome looks like.

Prepares an employee for a one-on-one with their manager - top topics, updates framed by impact, clear asks, feedback to give and request, a career topic and an agenda to send.

Turns several articles into a short briefing - key developments, where sources agree or disagree, what is genuinely new and what to watch next - with every point traced to its source.

Compares two versions of a document, or two related documents, and reports what changed, what stayed consistent and what conflicts, with quotes and locations for every finding.

Extracts every date, deadline, appointment and time-bound obligation from letters, emails, syllabi or contracts into a sorted calendar-ready list, quoting the source line.

Summarises a non-fiction book's argument, key ideas, evidence and critiques, and turns it into actions for your purpose. Says when it does not know the book instead of inventing content.

Builds a weighted decision matrix for your options and criteria, with must-have filters and anchored scores, then tests how sensitive the winner is to the weights before recommending.

Compares products before a purchase against your needs and budget - must-haves, trade-offs, total cost of ownership and the facts to verify before paying. Use when choosing between products.

Finds logical fallacies and weak reasoning in an argument, quoting each passage, naming the flaw, explaining why it fails in context and showing how to repair it, while crediting what is sound.

Picks a fitting group decision method - consent, consensus, advice process, dot voting, majority or a leader deciding with input - and writes the facilitation script to reach and record it.

Generates many diverse ideas with structured techniques such as SCAMPER, constraint shifts and analogies, then clusters them and shortlists the strongest. Use when obvious answers fall short.

Clusters a long list of ideas into named themes, merges duplicates without losing any idea, and ranks the clusters against stated criteria with reasons. Use after a brainstorm or survey.

Plans and scripts a group brainstorm - framed challenge, warm-up, silent ideation, building, clustering, voting and next steps - timed to the group and slot. For teams generating ideas together.

Generates solutions by abstracting a problem to its core structure, borrowing how nature, other industries and history solved the same structure, and adapting the best ones with a cheap test.

Diagnoses why a specific task is being avoided, then gives a concrete two-minute first step, a plan for the next 25 minutes and a way to keep going. Use when you keep putting something off.

Builds a plan to break a habit from its cues and rewards - friction, a substitute that meets the same need, environment changes, if-then plans for risky moments and a plan for slips.

Designs morning and evening routines around your goals, energy and fixed constraints, starting small, with a bad-day minimum version and a plan to grow it. Use when you want more structure.

Designs a habit plan around a tiny starting behaviour anchored to an existing routine, with a reward, simple tracking, a missed-day rule and a path to grow it. Use when starting a new habit.
