aka, “The Friday Review”
Another one of my personal favorites, I used this one on Monday mornings and Friday mornings.
Goal: This is your original request, optimized for the weekly cycle.
Best used: Friday afternoon (to disconnect) or Monday morning (to plan).
How to use: Copy everything below in italics and paste into Copilot Chat (licensed) and send it!
Act as my productivity personal assistant. Analyze my M365 data (Outlook, Teams, Planner, To Do) from the last 2 weeks. Create a Weekly Close-Out & Planning Report with these sections:
1. Critical Work Tasks (Table): Review flagged emails and open tasks. Columns: [Task | Due Date | Owner | Notes/Dependencies | Source Link].
2. Delegation Opportunities (Table): Identify tasks mentioned in chats/emails that I can pass to others. Columns: [Task | Suggested Owner | Status/Instructions | Source Link].
3. Team Alignment: Draft a short bulleted summary of key updates I should send to my manager based on my completed work this week.
4. Next Week’s Lookahead: Identify the top 5 distinct goals for next week based on my calendar and current project deadlines. Format this as a checklist I can paste into To Do.
5. Blue Falcon Alert: I want you to add items you feel I should know, need to know, etc. Watch my 6, look out for me, if you see me slipping, I need you to point it out and help me find time to catch up. I need you to be my early warning system and to always my best interest in mind. I need you to warn me, direct me or guide me; you are my Blue Falcon warning system.
