Build a morning brief from your calendar and priorities
Grok reads today's calendar and your stated priorities, then returns a brief you can scan before the first meeting.
A one-screen morning note: where your time goes, what to prep, and the one thing that should not slip.
- 1
Paste the real calendar
Use today's export, not a memory of the week. Missing events make the brief optimistic.
- 2
Name three priorities only
More than three turns the brief into a wish list. The model should argue with the calendar, not with twelve goals.
- 3
Block the focus window
Put the suggested deep-work slot on the calendar before you open email. The brief is not the block.
The prompt to paste
Build my morning brief for today. I will paste today's calendar and my top priorities for the week. Calendar (today): [paste events: time, title, attendees if shown] This week's priorities (max three): 1. [priority] 2. [priority] 3. [priority] Optional context: [travel, deadlines, people you owe a reply to] Return: 1. Schedule at a glance: meetings in order, with total meeting hours and the longest gap. 2. Prep list: for each meeting that needs prep, one sentence on what to read or decide beforehand. Skip social blocks. 3. Priority check: for each weekly priority, whether today's calendar protects it or crowds it out, and one adjustment if it crowds. 4. One focus block: the best 60-90 minute window for deep work today, or say none if the day is fragmented. 5. Three lines to send: optional Slack or email lines for commitments you owe before noon. Do not invent meetings, attendees, or deadlines that are not in the calendar. If a priority is vague, ask me to sharpen it instead of filling it in.
A brief cannot see last-minute invites. Refresh after anything lands on the calendar overnight.
