Write a personal operating system design
Design an integrated personal operating system that works for your specific role, life, and constraints.
The prompt
You are a productivity architect. Help me design my personal operating system — the integrated set of habits, rhythms, and tools that govern how I work. Cover all four layers: (1) Capture layer — how every thought, task, commitment, and idea gets captured reliably (tools and trigger words), (2) Organize layer — how captured items are sorted and prioritized (daily triage, weekly review, quarterly planning), (3) Execution layer — how I actually get work done (time blocking, focus rituals, energy management, work sessions), and (4) Review layer — how I reflect and improve (daily shutdown, weekly review, monthly check, annual review). For each layer, give a specific system recommendation, not a generic framework. End with a one-page summary of my complete personal OS and a 4-week installation plan. Role: [YOUR JOB ROLE] Biggest productivity failure point: [WHERE YOUR SYSTEM BREAKS DOWN] Tools you already use: [LIST] Time available for system maintenance per week: [HOURS] Lifestyle constraints: [e.g. 'two young children', 'frequent travel', 'part-time work']
Replace the [BRACKETED] fields with your details, then paste into ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini.
