Help Me Prepare My Day

An on-demand morning ritual — calendar, priority emails, open Slack threads, V2MOM-aligned tasks — all consolidated into a single readable brief in 90 seconds.

Make this yours

When you do this, is there something really important to you?

Optional

Your answer shapes how the prompt is personalised. A few examples of what someone might write:

“I always want bullet points, never prose.”
“Push back if I'm being vague.”
“Keep updates under 5 lines.”
“Lead with the decision, not the analysis.”

Your input is sent to the model once and never stored.

0/500

Read my calendar for today. Read my Gmail inbox for unread priority emails. Read my Slack DMs and any threads where I'm mentioned. Produce a morning brief with:

**TODAY'S CALENDAR**
[Meetings in order. For each: time, title, who's in the room, what I need to know]

**PRIORITY INBOX**
[Emails that need a decision or action from me today. Max 5.]

**OPEN THREADS**
[Slack threads waiting on me. Max 5.]

**ONE FOCUS**
[The single most important non-meeting thing to advance today, based on my V2MOM if available]

Bullet points. No filler. Under 300 words total.

Setup — 3 steps

Connect Gmail, Calendar, and Slack MCPs.

All three are required for the full output. Calendar gives structure, Gmail gives priority, Slack gives team temperature. Settings → Connectors.

Run it on waking, not after you've already opened Slack.

The brief is most useful before you're reacting. Run it as the first thing — before checking messages. Decide your focus before the day decides it for you.

Add to a Cowork Skill.

If you're doing this every day, it should be a Skill. Trigger: "morning brief" or "prep my day". Store the prompt once, run it daily.

Make it yours — 2 variations

End-of-Day Version

Flip the prompt to end-of-day: what did I ship, what's still open, what do I need to do tomorrow morning. Closes the loop and sets up the next morning brief.

V2MOM-Anchored

Add a section: "V2MOM alignment." For each task you completed today, which V2MOM measure did it move? Forces honest accounting of where your time goes.
