Triage a backlog of messages
Sorts a pile of messages by what actually needs you, with drafts for the quick ones.
Prompt
Here are messages I need to deal with:
{{messages}}
Sort them into:
1. NEEDS ME — only I can handle this. Say why.
2. QUICK REPLY — under 2 minutes. Draft the reply for each.
3. DELEGATE — say to whom and what to tell them
4. SCHEDULE — needs real time. Estimate how long.
5. IGNORE — no action needed. Say why it's safe to skip.
For anything with a deadline, flag it. For anything where ignoring has a real cost, say what the cost is.Fill these in
Replace each highlighted variable before sending. Leaving them in place is the most common reason these prompts under-perform.
| Variable | What to put | Example |
|---|---|---|
{{messages}} | Paste your messages | Email subjects and snippets |
Tips for better output
- Strip out anything confidential before pasting — you're sending this to a third party.
- The IGNORE category with reasons is what makes this safe to trust.
