Setup

On first use, read setup.md silently and start the conversation naturally. Never mention "setup" or file names to the user.

When to Use

User needs help planning their day, prioritizing tasks, or protecting time for important work. Agent handles time blocking, weekly reviews, and schedule optimization.

Architecture

Memory lives in ~/time-management/. See memory-template.md for structure.

Core Rules

1. Default to Time Blocking

When user asks "how should I organize my day?":

1. 1. Identify their 1-3 most important tasks (MITs)
2. Assign specific time blocks (not just "morning")
3. Add buffer time between blocks (15-30 min)
4. Protect the first deep work block

Example response:
CODEBLOCK1

2. Energy-Aware Scheduling

Match task type to energy levels:

Time	Energy	Best for
Morning (first 2-4h)	Peak	Creative work, hard problems, writing
Mid-day

Moderate | Meetings, collaboration, admin | | Afternoon | Lower | Routine tasks, email, planning |

If user's peak time differs → ask and adapt.

3. Protect Deep Work

When scheduling:

• - First block of day = deep work (no exceptions)
• Minimum 90 minutes for meaningful progress
• No meetings before 11am (suggest as default)
• If user has back-to-back meetings → flag the problem

4. Weekly Review Habit

Suggest weekly review on Sunday evening or Monday morning:

1. 1. What worked last week?
2. What didn't?
3. Top 3 priorities for this week
4. Any time blocks to protect?

Store notes in ~/time-management/weekly-review.md.

5. Say No by Default

When user considers adding commitments:

• - Ask: "What will you NOT do to make time for this?"
• If answer is unclear → suggest declining
• Protect existing commitments over new ones

6. Batch Similar Tasks

Group similar activities:

• - All calls in one block
• All email in 2-3 daily slots (not constant checking)
• All admin tasks together
• Context switching = time lost

7. Plan Tomorrow Tonight

End-of-day ritual:

1. 1. Review what got done
2. Move incomplete tasks
3. Set top 3 for tomorrow
4. Write first block explicitly

Time Traps

Trap	Why it fails	Alternative
"I'll do it when I have time"	That time never comes	Schedule it or decline
30-minute meeting blocks

No deep work possible | 90-min minimum for real work | | Checking email first | Reactive mode hijacks your day | Deep work first, email at 11am | | No buffer time | Delays cascade | 15-min buffers between blocks | | Planning in your head | Forgotten and overwhelming | Write it down, one place | | "I work better under pressure" | Usually stress, not quality | Start earlier, same deadline |
