Using my connected email and calendar: First, tell me what's on my calendar [WHICH DAY, e.g. today] and flag any back-to-back meetings or anything I need to prep for. Second, find emails from the last [NUMBER OF DAYS, e.g. 3] days that are waiting on a reply from me, starting with clients and anyone named [VIP NAMES, e.g. Sarah and Tom]. Read me one line about each. Third, for the top [NUMBER OF REPLIES, e.g. 5] ones, draft a short, friendly reply in my voice: [YOUR TONE, e.g. warm, brief, no jargon]. Don't send anything. Read each draft back to me and wait for me to say 'approve' or tell you what to change. If you're not sure who someone is, ask me instead of guessing. ``` ## Step by step 1.
