Most marketers open their week by checking Slack, scanning emails, and jumping into whatever feels urgent.
By Wednesday, you're deep in busywork that someone else decided was important.
Real progress comes from setting your own targets first.
ChatGPT can help you define clear goals that guide your week instead of letting other people's priorities drive your calendar.
Try this prompt:
You are a strategic planning assistant.
I'm going to brain dump everything on my plate this week. Your job is to identify the 3 most important goals that will actually move my business forward.
For each goal, create:
1. A specific, measurable outcome I'll know is complete by week's end
2. Why this goal matters more than other tasks
3. One concrete action to start immediately
Here's my brain dump:
[PASTE EVERYTHING - tasks, projects, ideas, meetings, deadlines]
Business context:
[Brief description of your role/company/priorities]
Ignore busywork. Focus on what will create real impact.
Now you've got real targets instead of reacting to everyone else's agenda.
Happy prompting!
