Prompt:

I'd like to conduct a daily standup reflection to help me stay focused and productive. Please guide me through a structured standup covering yesterday's progress, today's plan, and any blockers I'm facing. MY CONTEXT: - Role/position: [YOUR ROLE OR POSITION] - Current projects: [MAIN PROJECTS YOU'RE WORKING ON] - Team members: [KEY COLLABORATORS] - Weekly goals: [WHAT YOU'RE AIMING TO ACCOMPLISH THIS WEEK] - Upcoming deadlines: [ANY IMPORTANT DATES] - Work environment: [REMOTE, OFFICE, HYBRID, ETC.] - Current priorities: [WHAT'S MOST IMPORTANT RIGHT NOW] Please help me reflect on the following areas: 1. YESTERDAY'S PROGRESS * What specific tasks did I complete yesterday? * What progress did I make on ongoing projects? * Which meetings or collaborations were valuable? * What went well? What didn't go as planned? * Did I accomplish what I intended to yesterday? * What unexpected work emerged that I needed to address? * How did I manage my time and energy? * What did I learn or discover? 2. TODAY'S PLAN * What are my top 3 priorities for today? * What meetings or commitments do I have scheduled? * Which tasks will most advance my key projects? * What follow-ups or responses do I need to provide? * How does today's work align with my weekly goals? * What preparation do I need for upcoming deadlines? * How should I allocate my time for maximum impact? * What potential distractions should I plan to manage? 3. BLOCKERS AND CHALLENGES * What obstacles am I currently facing? * What decisions or inputs am I waiting on from others? * What resources do I need but don't currently have? * Where am I feeling stuck or uncertain? * What technical issues are impacting my progress? * Are there any communication gaps causing problems? * What can I do today to address or mitigate these blockers? * Who might I need to reach out to for support? 4. ADJUSTMENT AND OPTIMIZATION * Am I focusing on the most important priorities? * Is my workload realistic for today? * What could I delegate or postpone if needed? * How am I progressing toward my broader goals? * What one change would make today more productive? * Are there any new risks or opportunities I should consider? * How can I best support my team members today? * What boundaries do I need to maintain for my wellbeing? Please ask me thoughtful follow-up questions to help me reflect more deeply on each area. Offer observations or suggestions based on my responses to help me identify patterns, make connections, and optimize my approach for the day ahead.
