THE 15-MINUTE AI MORNING STACK
This routine takes 15 minutes and sets you up better than an hour of unfocused scrolling.
MINUTE 1-3: NEWS BRIEF WITH PERPLEXITY
Open Perplexity and ask: "What are the 3-5 most important things that happened in [YOUR INDUSTRY] in the last 24 hours? Be brief."
Or for general news: "Give me today's most important news in 5 bullet points. Include one positive story."
This gets you informed without the rabbit hole of news apps.
MINUTE 4-7: DAY PLANNING WITH CHATGPT
Copy your to-do list or calendar into ChatGPT and ask: "Here are my tasks for today: [LIST]. Given that my peak focus hours are [MORNING/AFTERNOON], help me prioritise these tasks and suggest a realistic schedule. Flag anything I can delegate or delete."
Or if you have a meeting-heavy day: "I have these meetings today: [LIST]. Help me identify the 1-2 high-value deep work tasks I should protect time for and when to do them."
MINUTE 8-10: ONE DECISION
If you have a decision weighing on you, resolve it before the day pulls you in different directions:
"I need to make a decision about [DECISION]. Here are the options: [OPTIONS]. Here's what I know: [CONTEXT]. Help me think through this clearly and give me a recommendation."
MINUTE 11-13: FIRST TASK STARTER
The hardest part of any task is starting. Use AI to remove the blank page problem:
"I need to [TASK] today. Give me an outline/approach/first draft to react to so I can get started immediately."
MINUTE 14-15: INTENTION
"Based on my schedule today [PASTE SCHEDULE], what's the one thing I should protect at all costs? And what's the most likely thing to derail my focus?"
FULL MORNING BRIEF PROMPT
Save this as a shortcut and run it every morning. Fill in the brackets:
"Good morning. I have [X] hours of focused work today. My three priorities are: [LIST]. My biggest distraction risk is [THING]. My one must-win for the day is [GOAL].
Help me:
- Suggest the order to tackle these priorities
- Identify anything I can do in under 2 minutes right now
- Give me one piece of advice to make today a success"
