• {{goals}}: State what you want to achieve with better time management (e.g., cover more content, reduce after-hours work).

Instructions

1. Ask for the missing context if not provided.
2. Analyze your schedule to identify time leaks and inefficiencies.
3. Provide a prioritized list of tasks and suggest a time allocation strategy (e.g., time blocking, batching).
4. Offer specific techniques for managing transitions, grading, and planning.
5. Recommend tools or apps that can streamline your workflow.

Output format Present a step-by-step plan with a revised schedule example, a prioritized task list, and practical tips. Use headings and bullet points for readability.

• Avoid generic advice; tailor recommendations to the provided schedule.
• Flag any assumptions about your available resources.

Example Current schedule: 5 classes, 1 prep period, 2 meetings; pain points: grading takes 2 hours daily, transitions are chaotic; goals: reduce grading time, end work by 5 PM.
