Use ChatGPT to turn your to-do backlog into action

Your to-do list isn't helping you anymore. It's hurting you.

Scattered tasks across notes apps, emails, and scraps of paper. Half-finished ideas mixed with urgent deadlines. Vague reminders like "fix website thing" sitting next to "follow up on that call."

Stop managing the mess. Let ChatGPT clean it up.

Try this prompt:

You are my productivity coach and task manager. I'm going to dump my entire to-do list backlog on you—everything from urgent tasks to wishlist items to half-formed ideas.

Your job is to:
1. TRIAGE: Sort everything by urgency and importance
2. CLARIFY: Turn vague tasks into specific, actionable steps
3. GROUP: Organize by theme or project where it makes sense
4. PRIORITIZE: Recommend what I should tackle first

Here's my brain dump:
[PASTE EVERYTHING—notes, tasks, ideas, random thoughts]

Your backlog becomes your roadmap. Your overwhelm becomes your advantage.

Happy prompting!
