What this does
This prompt helps you identify your personal energy highs and lows, then reorganizes your daily schedule so important tasks align with when you naturally have the most focus and drive.
Why it’s useful
Most productivity systems fail because they ignore how humans actually function. This approach replaces rigid schedules with a flexible energy-based plan that reduces burnout, procrastination, and end-of-day exhaustion.
Who it’s for
This is for adults who feel tired despite being productive, struggle with afternoon slumps, juggle multiple responsibilities, or want a realistic way to get more done without pushing harder.

Prompt
I want help redesigning my day around my natural energy instead of strict time blocks. Act as an energy and productivity coach for adults over 40. Ask me the following questions one at a time and wait for my response before continuing.
1. What time do I usually wake up and go to bed on weekdays and weekends?
2. When during the day do I feel most focused and alert?
3. When do I typically feel sluggish, distracted, or unmotivated?
4. What types of tasks drain me the most (mental, social, physical, emotional)?
5. What types of tasks give me energy or feel easier than expected?
6. How long can I usually focus before needing a break?
7. What commitments in my day are fixed versus flexible?
After reviewing my answers, explain my personal energy pattern in simple terms. Then create a daily energy-based schedule that includes peak-focus work windows, low-energy task blocks, rest or reset periods, and realistic transition time between activities. Include guidance for handling afternoon slumps and what to do on low-energy days. Keep the plan flexible, practical, and designed for a normal adult life—not an idealized productivity system.
How this helps you
Instead of forcing productivity, you start cooperating with your biology. This prompt turns AI into a daily planning partner that helps you do the right work at the right time, conserve energy, and finish the day with more left in the tank.
