Prioritise Tasks with AI
Use AI to sort a task list by urgency, importance, deadlines and what can realistically wait.

Prompt

Prioritise the tasks below. Do not just sort by what sounds important. Use deadlines, impact, effort, dependencies and what can realistically wait.

My role or situation:
[CONTEXT]

Time available:
[TIME AVAILABLE]

Fixed deadlines or appointments:
[DEADLINES]

Task list:
[PASTE TASKS]

Please return:
- do first
- schedule next
- can wait
- delegate or ask for help
- remove or question
- missing information
- suggested first three actions

Example Input

Context: returning after annual leave. Time available: one focused morning. Deadlines: client proposal due tomorrow, invoices due Friday. Tasks: reply to emails, finish proposal, tidy files, review website copy, book supplier call, chase overdue invoice, plan next week's content.

Example Output

A practical priority list with reasons, first three actions and anything that needs more information before deciding. The urgent proposal and fixed deadlines should not be buried under easy admin tasks.

Before you ask

List the tasks, deadlines, available time and anything that depends on someone else. Add what happens if an important task slips.

Check before use

Check that the priority order reflects real deadlines, impact and effort. Do not let easy tasks appear first just because they are quick to finish.

Common mistakes

Using AI's priority list as the final answer without checking deadlines, consequences or what only you can decide.
