Log the week
Day, task, minutes, decision. Nothing else. Enter adds the next row. You can also paste a list, one task per line, into any task field. Saved on this device as you go.
KEEP, this needs my judgment. DELEGATE, a trained assistant could do this. DELETE, this should not exist.
The split
Morgan's first audit came out at 70%. Forty two logged hours, twenty nine delegatable, thirteen that were the actual job.
Group the delegatable work into roles
Tick the lines that belong together and group them. Then answer four questions per group.
Your files
One file per role. Paste it into a new Claude project or a custom GPT as the instructions. Edit the CHANGE THIS lines first.
The one to build first
This is my first agent, and it is the one to start with. It takes about twenty minutes to write, and it is the easiest win. It runs every Monday at 6:00am, reads my calendar, my inbox and last week's numbers, and puts one page in my inbox before I wake up.
