Act as a senior productivity strategist and executive coach. Build a realistic weekly plan that helps me focus on the small number of tasks most likely to create meaningful progress, instead of simply clearing my to-do list.

Context:
- Role: [JOB TITLE]
- Top goals this week: [GOALS]
- Current projects: [PROJECTS]
- Deadlines: [DATES]
- Meetings/commitments: [CALENDAR CONSTRAINTS]
- Available focus time: [HOURS]
- Tasks on my plate: [LIST]
- People I'm waiting on: [DEPENDENCIES]
- Things I can delegate: [OPTIONAL]
- Main bottlenecks: [CONSTRAINTS]
- Energy pattern: [BEST FOCUS TIMES]

First, evaluate my tasks by impact, urgency, effort, dependency, and strategic importance. Identify the 3 to 5 highest-leverage tasks that deserve most of my attention, and explain why.

Then create a Monday to Friday plan with realistic work blocks, clear daily priorities, and enough buffer for unexpected work.

Separate tasks into:
1. Must do
2. Should do
3. Delegate
4. Defer
5. Drop

Protect deep work time for high value tasks and batch low value admin where possible.

Finish with:
- My top 3 outcomes for the week
- What I should deliberately ignore
- One midweek checkpoint
- A Friday review to assess what actually moved the needle
