What this prompt does
- Cuts your list down to three priorities that matter
- Ranks those three in the order to tackle them
- Tells you what to drop — and why
- Kills the overwhelm that stalls a week
Why it works
Forces a ruthless top-3 and explicit cuts — kills the overwhelm that stalls solo founders.
Tips for this prompt
- Dump everything — half-formed tasks and "shoulds" included, not just the tidy ones.
- Make {{goal}} concrete — "20 signups", not "grow the newsletter".
- Push back if the top 3 feel safe — ask for the braver cut.
- Argue with a "drop" you disagree with — make it defend the call.
- Re-run Monday with last week's leftovers folded in.
