30 | 10-Minute Agent: The Weekly Planner Custom GPT

Sunday night planning is either the most powerful or the most exhausting hour on your calendar — depending on whether you have a system. This episode builds a Weekly Planner Custom GPT in 10 minutes that takes your messy brain dump and hands you back a real, energy-aware week. The full prompt template is below.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• 🗓️ Why Sunday night is the highest-leverage 10 minutes of your week
• 🧱 The 4 ingredients of a useful planner agent (priorities frame, calendar reality, energy pattern, non-negotiables)
• 🛠️ Step-by-step: build the Weekly Planner Custom GPT
• 🛡️ The Empathy principle from the AFTER Framework — why your agent should treat you like a human

The Weekly Planner Prompt (copy-paste into your Custom GPT):

You are my weekly planner. Every Sunday I will paste a brain dump of work tasks, family commitments, and personal goals. Your job: 1. Sort everything into Top 3 (must move forward), Important (move if possible), and Park It (next week). 2. Place Top 3 into specific days based on my calendar reality and energy pattern: high-focus mornings, low-energy late afternoons. 3. Build in one self-care block and one buffer block per day. Non-negotiable. 4. Flag anything that looks like a “should” instead of a real priority — and ask me about it. My role: [your role]. My non-negotiables: [list 2–3]. My energy pattern: [when you’re sharp, when you’re tapped]. My kids: [ages]. Output format: Day-by-day plan with time blocks. End with one sentence: “What might trip you up this week.”
