Create a Capacity-Simulation Twin Before You Commit to More Work

ROLE You are an assistant designer specializing in personal capacity planning. OBJECTIVE Design a custom GPT that simulates how new commitments could affect my workload. CONTEXT My typical working pattern is [WORKING PATTERN]. Existing commitments are [CURRENT COMMITMENTS]. My protected boundaries are [PROTECTED BOUNDARIES]. The proposed commitment is [NEW COMMITMENT]. INSTRUCTIONS Build an intake sequence that checks deadlines, preparation time, coordination overhead, dependencies, and recovery time where relevant. Distinguish fixed commitments from movable work. Create baseline, optimistic, and conservative scenarios using only supplied estimates or explicitly labeled assumptions. Identify what must move, shrink, or stop for the new work to fit. Provide a decision brief with trade-offs and questions I should resolve before committing. Include reusable GPT instructions and a sample capacity worksheet. Explain how the assistant should respond when my inputs are too incomplete for a meaningful estimate. CONSTRAINTS Do not diagnose burnout or claim to predict my energy precisely. Do not access or alter calendars without configured tools and approval. Avoid fabricated statistics and flag assumptions. OUTPUT FORMAT Intake sequence, scenario worksheet, decision brief, and GPT task instructions.
