Daily Task Review and Planning

The Problem

Your task list grows endlessly. Without regular review, important items get buried, overdue tasks pile up, and you lose track of priorities. You need a systematic way to stay on top of your commitments.

The Workflow

Step 1: Morning Task Review

Start each day by reviewing what's on your plate.

Prompt to use:

Show me all my reminders:
- What's overdue?
- What's due today?
- What's coming up this week?
Group them by list/category.

Example output:

TASK OVERVIEW:

OVERDUE (3 items):
⚠️ "Review contract" - 2 days overdue (Work)
⚠️ "Call dentist" - 1 day overdue (Personal)
⚠️ "Submit expense report" - 1 day overdue (Work)

DUE TODAY (4 items):
• "Send project update" (Work)
• "Buy groceries" (Shopping)
• "Prepare meeting agenda" (Work)
• "Pay utility bill" (Personal)

THIS WEEK (6 items):
• Wednesday: "Team presentation"
• Thursday: "Doctor appointment"
• Friday: "Weekly report"
...

Step 2: Handle Overdue Items

Deal with tasks that slipped through.

Prompt to use:

For my overdue tasks:
- Mark "Call dentist" as complete (I did it yesterday)
- Reschedule "Review contract" to tomorrow
- What should I do about "Submit expense report"?

Step 3: Prioritize Today

Identify your top priorities for the day.

Prompt to use:

From my tasks due today and this week, suggest the top 3
I should focus on. Consider urgency and importance.

Step 4: Set Up Tomorrow

Before ending your day, prep for tomorrow.

Prompt to use:

What do I have due tomorrow? Create a reminder tonight
at 9 PM to "Review tomorrow's tasks" so I'm prepared.

Expected Result

A clear view of your commitments with overdue items addressed, priorities identified, and tomorrow prepared. No more task anxiety.
