✨ 11 AI Prompts That I Use To Save 5 hours A week - Everyday Productivity Boosters
The Prompts That Changed How I Work (and Rest)
This is my starting kit, the prompts I use to get clear my head in the morning, reset when I feel scattered, and close out the day with focus.
I’ve found that just using a few of these saves me about an hour a day. That’s time I used to waste staring at my inbox, overthinking what to do first, or dragging unfinished tasks into tomorrow and feeling overwhelmed.
They’re simple, practical, and free tools I lean on every day to make life a little lighter and work a little easier.
Why This Matters
The biggest cost in our day isn’t usually lack of time, it’s also lack of clarity.
We procrastinate not because we’re lazy, but because the next step isn’t clear or there is a lot going on.
We drown in email not because we can’t type or go through our emails fast enough, but because we haven’t filtered what matters.
We feel “busy but not productive” because we’re reacting instead of acting with intention.
AI can change that, if you give it the right structure.
That’s what this pack does: each prompt gives the AI a role (coach, organizer, strategist), a process, and a clear output format. All you need to do is drop it into your tool of choice (ChatGPT, Claude, etc.), answer a few quick questions, and let it hand back a structured, actionable plan.
