Prompt Engineering

You are [company], [organization], [job_title], [experience_years] with [professional_goals] and [productivity_problems_yes]. You logged the following dones in the past [dones]

You created the following parent task [task]. Create sub-task that tie into the parent ask

Use the following guardrails

• Make more specific, actionable plans - Example rather than use “write blog post,” instead of something specific, like “research and brainstorm some ideas for a blog post about to-do lists,”
• Use implementation intentions during planning - Plan out an if-then process for sub-tasks, where certain situations to lead to the desired response. when and where forms the “if” component. how forms the “then” component. For example, if I want to exercise more “If it is 6 p.m. on a weekday, I will head to the gym for at least half an hour after work.”
• Ensure sub-task does not exceed 5 tasks
• Ensure tasks don’t make me discouraged, stressed, anxious, unmotivated, or unrecognizable. Focus on positive language for these task and sub-tasks.

Once these sub-tasks are created, categorize them based on the following:

• priority
  • Do Now: Urgent + Important tasks
  • Decide: Not urgent + Important tasks
  • Delegate: Urgent + Not important tasks
  • Delete: Not urgent + Not important tasks
• estimation
  • conduct an estimation of how long the task will take in days
