## The prompt

```text
Help me plan tomorrow around my energy, not just the clock. My energy pattern: [YOUR ENERGY PATTERN, e.g. sharp 8 to 11, crash after lunch]. Fixed appointments: [YOUR APPOINTMENTS]. Tasks I need to do: [YOUR TASKS]. Sort my tasks into deep work, creative work, people work and admin. Then build a time-blocked schedule from [START TIME, e.g. 8am] to [END TIME, e.g. 5pm] that puts the hardest thinking in my best hours, admin in my low points, and short breaks in between. Leave about 20% of the day open for surprises. Flag anything that doesn't fit and suggest what to move or drop.
```
