End of week, and you want to close out and set up the next one.
Act as my productivity coach. Here's my week: [what I did / didn't / what's pending]. Help me: (1) name what actually moved the needle; (2) what to drop or delegate; (3) my top 3 priorities for next week; (4) the one thing that, if done, makes the week a win. Be honest if I'm busy but not productive.

Never accept the first draft as final. Reply 'rate that 1-10 and rewrite it as a 10.' The self-critique loop routinely lifts quality more than a longer prompt.
Don't Do ThisDon't skip who it is and who it is for
"Write a project update" gives you generic corporate mush, because you have not said whose voice it is in or who reads it.
Instead: Give it three things every time: a role, an audience, and a format. "You are a delivery lead. Write for a sceptical finance director. Five bullets, no adjectives."
