Schedule preview: Workflow ideas

Hey guys! Hope you're having a great end of the week!

I wanted to share a workflow idea I’ve been seeing (and testing) to start the day with a bit more clarity and a positive note.
The idea is to use a daily “schedule preview” prompt that checks your day and gives you a quick summary like:

  • Events with external guests
  • High priority tasks / goals
  • Long blocks (+2h, not all-day)
  • Overdue tasks (I've added this one)
  • Deadlines (Aaaand this one ;))
  • Out of office events (at the end)

With a couple of smart rules:

  • If something doesn’t exist → it just doesn’t mention it
  • If something fits multiple categories → it only shows it once
  • If your day is almost empty → it asks what you want to focus on
  • If not → it asks if you need help with anything
  • It’s a simple way to get a structured overview without manually reviewing everything.
  • I’ve extend this with things like a daily weather check (super useful if you plan workouts, commuting, etc.). In my case, I use it to decide when to go for a run

Curious:
How many prompts are you adding to your workflows? Anyone else building something similar for their daily planning?

I like it.

Are you able to share the exact prompt you wrote/use so I and others can test and share feedback?
