# Spend your week on the work that actually grows your business

> It shows you, from your own calendar, exactly where your week is leaking.

Connect Claude to your calendar and email, give it your quarterly goals, and ask if your time matches your priorities. It coaches you on what you actually do, not what you meant to do.

## The prompt

Fill in the parts in [square brackets], or leave them and the AI will ask you for them.

```text
Here are my goals for this quarter: [GOAL 1], [GOAL 2], [GOAL 3]. Look at my calendar for the last 2 weeks and the next week, and skim my sent email for the same period. Then tell me honestly: roughly what share of my time went to each goal, what took time but supports none of them, which recurring meetings or tasks I could cut, shorten, or hand off, and what's missing from my calendar that my goals need. Finish with a suggested ideal week: 3 to 5 protected time blocks I should add, with days and times. Don't change or create anything in my calendar without asking me first.
```

## Step by step

1. Open Settings, then Connectors, in Claude and connect Google Calendar (Gmail is optional).
2. Paste the prompt with your 3 goals.
3. Run it again whenever you feel busy but stuck.

## What you'll get

A time versus goals breakdown, a list of things to cut or hand off, the gaps in your schedule, and a suggested ideal week.
