Watch Deep Work Prompt Pack actually work

PROMPT — Focus Block Planner (from the Prioritization set):

"I have [hours] of deep work today and these competing tasks: [list]. Rank them by leverage (impact × urgency), then design my focus blocks with a single defined outcome per block. Flag anything I should defer or delegate."

LIVE RUN —

Input: 4.5 hours available. Tasks: finalize Series A deck, review 2 eng hires, respond to investor intros, fix onboarding drop-off, approve Q3 budget.

Result:

Leverage ranking:
1. Series A deck — high impact, hard deadline Thu
2. Onboarding drop-off — 18% churn, compounds daily
3. Eng hire reviews — pipeline stalls without you
4. Budget approval — important, not urgent
5. Investor intros — batchable, low cognitive load

Focus blocks:
▸ Block 1 (90 min) — Deck. Outcome: slides 1–10 final, narrative locked. Phone in drawer.
▸ Block 2 (75 min) — Onboarding. Outcome: identify the single highest-drop step + one fix shipped to eng.
▸ Break (15 min) — walk, no screens.
▸ Block 3 (60 min) — Hire reviews. Outcome: both candidates scored, decisions logged.

Defer: Budget → tomorrow AM (fresh, analytical).
Delegate: Investor intros → have Chief of Staff draft replies; you approve in 10 min, not a full block.

End-of-day reset cue: Close with the one thing that moved furthest, and pre-load tomorrow's first block so you start without deciding.

That's one prompt from prioritization. The pack carries 119 more across focus, planning, and daily resets — same run-it-and-go structure.
