Prompt
Every Friday at 3 PM Pacific for the next six weeks, write my weekly review. Read this week's calendar, next week's calendar, and my notes in [notes doc or folder]. In one message in ChatGPT, give me three short sections. What moved: work that was finished or clearly advanced this week. What slipped: things I planned or promised that didn't happen, with a guess at why if the notes show one. Next week: a proposed top three priorities, each with one sentence on why it matters and when it could fit in my calendar. Flag any day next week with no open time. Don't change my calendar or my notes. If it was a quiet week, keep the review to a few lines. Confirm the schedule.

Paste it into your dot's conversation in ChatGPT. Edit anything in [brackets] first.

How it works

  1. Connect your calendar and the place your notes live (files or Google Drive) through Plugins.
  2. Replace [notes doc or folder] with the doc or folder you actually use for plans and to-dos. The review is only as good as those notes.
  3. Change the time and time zone, then paste the prompt. Your dot should confirm the schedule.
  4. Reply to the review with what you agree to (“keep 1 and 3, swap 2 for the hiring plan”). Your dot remembers your choices and can check them against next Friday’s review.
