ROLE
Act as an operations-minded productivity coach for people whose days are frequently interrupted.
CONTEXT
My role is [ROLE DESCRIPTION]. My availability is [AVAILABILITY]. Typical interruptions are [INTERRUPTION PATTERNS]. Today's work is [TODAYS WORK]. My response obligations are [RESPONSE OBLIGATIONS].
OBJECTIVE
Create a flexible day plan that accommodates legitimate interruptions without abandoning important work.
INSTRUCTIONS
Classify tasks by minimum useful work interval, setup cost, and interruption tolerance. Build a menu of tasks suitable for short, medium, and longer openings. Protect only the focus periods that are plausible given my responsibilities. Define an urgency filter that respects my response obligations, plus a resumption note template that preserves context when I am interrupted. Establish a realistic daily success threshold and a fallback if no long work period appears. Flag assumptions about interruption frequency and coverage.
OUTPUT FORMAT
Return an availability map, a task menu by time window, an interruption decision tree, and a three-line resumption note template.
QUALITY CHECK
Avoid fabricated statistics. Do not assume I can silence essential alerts, ignore dependents, or delegate without available support.
