```text
Help me plan the week of [WEEK DATES, e.g. Oct 19 to 23]. Using my connected calendar and email: 1) List meetings that need prep or involve a decision, and what I should bring to each. 2) Flag overbooked days, back-to-back stretches, and real blocks of focus time. 3) Summarize emails from the last 7 days that'll turn urgent if I ignore them, and anyone waiting on a reply from me, clients first. 4) Build a one-page plan with my must-dos, a simple daily structure, and an email triage list split into 'reply today' and 'can wait.' Keep it short and practical. Don't send or change anything.
```

## Step by step

1. Go to Settings, then Connectors, in Claude and connect your email and calendar.
2. Paste the prompt with this week's dates.
3. Ask follow-ups like 'draft replies to the top three' or 'build a prep brief for Tuesday's call.'
4. Save it as a skill or a scheduled task so it runs every week.

A one-page weekly plan with prep notes, focus blocks, and an email triage list.
