The prompt
Over the past {{period}}, I've spent {{shallow_work_hours}} hours on: {{shallow_work_examples}}. My role's actual value drivers: {{value_drivers}}. For each shallow task, determine: (1) why it exists, (2) who benefits, (3) can it be delegated/automated/eliminated, (4) if essential, how to batch/streamline it. Create a 30-60-90 day elimination plan.
