Daily Admin · Inbox Management
The Inbox Zero Machine
Turn email chaos into organised action. This prompt categorises, prioritises, and drafts responses — so you clear your inbox in minutes, not hours.

The Prompt
I'm going to paste a batch of emails from my inbox. For each email, I need you to:
1. **Categorise** it: Urgent Action / Needs Response / FYI / Delegate / Archive
2. **Summarise** the key ask in one sentence
3. **Draft a response** if one is needed (match my tone: professional but warm, Australian English)
4. **Flag** any hidden asks or emotional subtext I should be aware of
Format your output as a table with columns: Sender | Category | Summary | Draft Response | Notes
Here are my emails:
[PASTE EMAILS HERE]
Why It Works (The Science)
Cognitive offloading — by externalising the categorisation decision, you free up working memory for higher-value thinking. The structured output format also reduces decision fatigue by giving you clear next actions rather than open-ended choices.
Pro Tips
Batch your emails — paste 5-10 at once for maximum efficiency
Add context about your role so AI matches your voice: "I'm a founder" or "I lead a team of 8"
Use the "Notes" column to catch things you might miss when skimming

Content Creation · Social Media
The Weekly Content Engine
Generate a week's worth of LinkedIn content from a single idea. Maintains your voice, varies formats, and builds thought leadership without the blank page paralysis.
3hrsaved / week
+
The Prompt
I want to create 5 LinkedIn posts for this week based on one core theme.
**My theme this week:** [INSERT YOUR THEME]
**About me:** [1-2 sentences about your role, expertise, audience]
**My voice:** [e.g., "Direct but warm, uses real examples, occasionally self-deprecating, Australian"]
Create 5 posts with these formats:
1. **Story post** — personal anecdote that teaches a lesson
2. **Contrarian take** — challenge a common belief in my industry
3. **How-to listicle** — 5 actionable tips
4. **Question post** — spark discussion with a thought-provoking question
5. **Micro-case study** — brief client/project win with the lesson
Each post should:
- Hook in the first line
- Be 150-250 words
- End with a soft CTA or conversation starter
- Feel like ME, not AI
Why It Works (The Science)
Pattern interruption — the varied formats prevent audience fatigue. The hook requirement leverages the peak-end rule: people remember how content started and ended. The voice instructions reduce the "AI smell" that makes content feel generic.
Pro Tips
Feed it 2-3 of your best-performing past posts as examples of your voice
Schedule posts for Tuesday-Thursday mornings (highest LinkedIn engagement)
Save the contrarian takes for when you have energy to engage with comments
03
Daily Admin · Meetings
Meeting Prep + Follow-Up Engine
Never walk into a meeting unprepared again. Generates agendas before, summaries after, and follow-up emails that clients notice.
3hrsaved / week
+
The Prompt (Pre-Meeting)
I have a meeting coming up. Help me prepare.
**Meeting with:** [Name, role, company]
**Purpose:** [What we're discussing]
**Context:** [Any background — previous conversations, their situation, stakes]
**My goal:** [What I want to walk away with]
Generate:
1. **3 smart questions** to ask that show I've done my homework
2. **Potential objections** they might raise and how to address them
3. **A one-page agenda** I can share beforehand (makes me look organised)
4. **Key talking points** I shouldn't forget
The Prompt (Post-Meeting)
I just finished a meeting. Help me close the loop professionally.
**Meeting with:** [Name]
**What we discussed:** [Quick brain dump — doesn't need to be polished]
**Decisions made:** [Any commitments]
**Next steps:** [Who's doing what]
Generate:
1. **A follow-up email** thanking them, summarising decisions, confirming next steps
2. **My internal notes** formatted for my records
3. **Calendar reminders** I should set with dates
Why It Works (The Science)
Implementation intentions — research shows people are 2-3x more likely to follow through when they specify when and how. The calendar reminders turn vague commitments into concrete actions. The follow-up email also leverages the recency effect — cementing your professionalism while the meeting is fresh.
04
Business Growth · Client Experience
Client Onboarding Architect
Build a complete onboarding sequence in 10 minutes. Welcome messages, milestone check-ins, resource guides — everything a new client needs to feel looked after.
4hrsaved / client
+
The Prompt
I need to create a client onboarding sequence for my business.
**My business:** [What you do, who you serve]
**The offer they just bought:** [Package/service name and what's included]
**Timeline:** [How long is the engagement? Weekly calls? Monthly?]
**My tone:** [e.g., "Warm, professional, Australian, occasionally playful"]
Create a complete onboarding sequence:
1. **Welcome email** (sent immediately after purchase)
- Celebrate their decision
- Set expectations for what happens next
- Include any immediate action items
2. **Day 3: Check-in email**
- Make sure they have everything they need
- Surface any early questions
3. **Week 1: Milestone email**
- Celebrate first-week progress
- Remind them of key resources
- Plant seeds for what's coming
4. **Resource Guide**
- One-page "everything you need" reference
- Links, contacts, FAQs
5. **30-day check-in template**
- Questions to ask to gauge satisfaction
- Opportunity to upsell/extend if relevant
Why It Works (The Science)
The peak-end rule — clients remember how experiences start and end. A strong onboarding creates a "peak" that colours their entire perception of working with you. The milestone emails also leverage variable rewards — unexpected check-ins feel more valuable than predictable ones.
05
Business Growth · Strategy
The Revenue Leak Detector
Analyse your current offers, pricing, and client mix to find where money is being left on the table. One of the most popular prompts in the kit.
💰revenue reclaimed
+
The Prompt
Act as a business strategist. Analyse my business for revenue leaks.
**My business:** [What you do]
**My offers:** [List your products/services and prices]
**My typical client:** [Who buys, how they find you]
**Current challenges:** [What feels hard right now]
Identify:
1. **Pricing leaks** — Am I undercharging? Overdelivering? Missing tiers?
2. **Offer gaps** — What logical next step am I NOT offering existing clients?
3. **Audience leaks** — Am I attracting the wrong people? Repelling ideal clients?
4. **Process leaks** — Where am I losing time/money to inefficiency?
5. **Positioning leaks** — Is my messaging costing me premium clients?
For each leak, give me:
- The problem in one sentence
- The revenue impact (estimate if you can)
- One specific fix I could implement this week
Why It Works (The Science)
Loss aversion — we feel losses more acutely than gains. Framing as "leaks" (something you're losing) is more motivating than "opportunities" (something you might gain). The one-week action item uses temporal discounting — near-term actions feel more real than someday plans.
06
Content Creation · Repurposing
Content Multiplier
Take one piece of content and turn it into 5 formats for 5 platforms — in your voice, not AI voice. Maximum leverage from minimum effort.
2hrsaved / piece
+
The Prompt
I have one piece of content. Help me multiply it across platforms.
**Original content:** [Paste your blog post, video transcript, podcast notes, etc.]
**My voice:** [e.g., "Direct, warm, uses Australian spelling, avoids corporate jargon"]
**My audience:** [Who you're speaking to]
Transform this into:
1. **LinkedIn post** (150-250 words, hook + story + insight + CTA)
2. **Instagram carousel** (6-8 slides, punchy headlines, expand in captions)
3. **Twitter/X thread** (8-10 tweets, each one standalone valuable)
4. **Email newsletter** (conversational, like writing to a smart friend)
5. **Short-form video script** (60-90 seconds, for Reels/TikTok)
Rules:
- Each format should feel NATIVE to that platform
- Don't just shorten — reshape for how people consume on each platform
- Maintain my voice throughout
- Vary the hook/angle so it doesn't feel repetitive if someone follows me everywhere
Why It Works (The Science)
Mere exposure effect — people need to encounter your ideas multiple times before they stick. Repurposing lets you leverage this without creating more work. The platform-native requirement ensures each piece performs well in its context, rather than feeling like a lazy copy-paste.
07
Sales · Proposals
Proposals That Close
Generate persuasive, professional proposals in minutes. Structured to address objections before they arise and guide prospects to yes.
2hrsaved / proposal
+
The Prompt
Help me write a proposal that closes.
**Client:** [Company/person name, what they do]
**Their problem:** [What challenge are they facing]
**What we discussed:** [Key points from discovery call]
**My solution:** [What I'm proposing]
**Investment:** [Price and payment terms]
**Timeline:** [How long, key milestones]
Create a proposal with:
1. **Executive summary** (one paragraph that sells the transformation)
2. **The challenge** (show I understand their world better than they do)
3. **The solution** (what I'll deliver, framed as outcomes not activities)
4. **The approach** (how we'll work together, timeline)
5. **Investment** (price with clear value anchoring)
6. **Why me** (brief credibility without bragging)
7. **Next steps** (make saying yes easy)
8. **Risk reversal** (address the "what if it doesn't work" fear)
Tone: Confident, warm, focused on THEM not me.
Why It Works (The Science)
Pain-solution-outcome structure mirrors how the brain makes decisions. Starting with their challenge activates loss aversion. The risk reversal addresses the amygdala's threat detection, clearing the path for the prefrontal cortex to say yes.
08
Sales · Follow-Up
Sales Follow-Up Sequence
Never let a warm lead go cold. A complete follow-up sequence that's persistent without being pushy.
1hrsaved / lead
+
The Prompt
I need a follow-up sequence for prospects who've gone quiet.
**Context:** [What did you discuss? What's the offer?]
**Last interaction:** [When did you last speak? What happened?]
**What I know about them:** [Any personal details, challenges, timeline]
Create a 5-email follow-up sequence:
1. **Day 2: The gentle nudge**
- Assume positive intent (they're busy, not avoiding)
- Add value, don't just "check in"
2. **Day 5: The new angle**
- Share something relevant (article, case study, thought)
- Reframe the value from a different perspective
3. **Day 10: The social proof**
- Share a relevant client win or testimonial
- Make it easy to picture themselves succeeding
4. **Day 17: The honest check-in**
- Be human — acknowledge the follow-up dance
- Give them an easy out if timing is wrong
5. **Day 30: The graceful close**
- Final touch with no pressure
- Leave door open for future
Rules:
- Short (under 100 words each)
- No guilt trips
- Every email provides value independent of the sale
Why It Works (The Science)
The Zeigarnik effect — unfinished business stays in our minds. Each email reopens the loop without closing it. The value-first approach also builds reciprocity — they feel they "owe" you attention because you've given value without asking.
09
Team · Delegation
Team Brief Builder
Create clear, complete briefs that your team can actually execute on. No more "that's not what I meant" revisions.
1hrsaved / brief
+
The Prompt
Help me create a brief for my team that leaves nothing to interpretation.
**Task:** [What needs to be done]
**Assigned to:** [Who's doing it]
**Due:** [When]
**Context:** [Why this matters, what it's part of]
Generate a brief that includes:
1. **Objective** (one sentence: what does success look like?)
2. **Background** (what they need to know to do this well)
3. **Scope** (what's included AND what's not included)
4. **Deliverables** (exactly what they'll hand back to me)
5. **Resources** (links, examples, references they'll need)
6. **Constraints** (budget, brand guidelines, technical limits)
7. **Timeline** (milestones, not just final deadline)
8. **Communication** (how/when to update me, who to ask for help)
9. **Quality bar** (examples of what "good" looks like)
10. **Autonomy level** (what decisions can they make without checking?)
Why It Works (The Science)
Curse of knowledge — we forget what it's like to not know what we know. This structured brief forces you to make implicit context explicit. The autonomy level reduces decision paralysis and empowers independent execution.

Business Growth · Offers
The Offer Refiner
Take your existing offer and make it irresistible. Clarify the transformation, stack the value, eliminate objections.
💎offer clarity
+
The Prompt
Help me refine my offer so it sells itself.
**Current offer:** [What you sell, current price]
**Who it's for:** [Your ideal client]
**What's included:** [List everything]
**The transformation:** [Before vs After for the client]
**Common objections:** [What stops people buying?]
Analyse and improve:
1. **Offer clarity audit**
- Can a stranger understand what this is in 10 seconds?
- Is the transformation crystal clear?
- Are you selling the vehicle or the destination?
2. **Value stack analysis**
- What could you add that costs you nothing but increases perceived value?
- What bonuses would accelerate their results?
- Is there a fast-action incentive?
3. **Objection elimination**
- Turn each objection into a feature or guarantee
- What risk reversal would make this a no-brainer?
4. **Positioning refinement**
- How does this compare to alternatives?
- What makes this the ONLY choice for the right person?
5. **One-sentence offer**
- Rewrite the offer in one compelling sentence
Output as a before/after comparison so I can see the difference.
Why It Works (The Science)
Value perception isn't about what's included — it's about how it's framed. This prompt uses anchoring (stack value before revealing price), loss aversion (risk reversal), and distinction bias (positioning against alternatives) to make the offer feel like the obvious choice.
