The prompt
Last week's work log: {{work_log}}. For each task, classify as: deep (builds core value), maintenance (necessary upkeep), or shallow (reactive, low impact). Then: (1) what % was shallow? (2) which shallow tasks can be eliminated, batched, or automated? (3) which should move to someone else? (4) what guardrails prevent shallow work from creeping back in? Suggest specific weekly time blocks for deep work.
