Steps

  1. 1

    Open today's note

    Start from your daily note and make sure tasks, ideas, and meeting snippets are captured.

  2. 2

    Ask for a one-page recap

    Generate a short recap: wins, key decisions, and what to carry forward.

  3. 3

    Prioritize tasks

    Convert scattered checkboxes into a short prioritized list and mark what can be deferred.

  4. 4

    Draft tomorrow's plan

    Create a lightweight plan for tomorrow with 1 to 3 outcomes and a time-boxed schedule.

  5. 5

    Write back with approvals

    Let SystemSculpt propose edits and approve the exact text that gets written into your note.

Why this works

Most daily notes are noisy. This workflow gives you a consistent "end of day" pass that improves recall and keeps your backlog small.

If you are new to SystemSculpt, start here: Getting Started.

Suggested note headings

Add these headings to your daily note (once) so results stay consistent:

  • Recap
  • Top priorities
  • Open loops
  • Tomorrow

Prompt template

Use a prompt like this:

  • "Summarize today's note in 5 bullets, then extract tasks into a prioritized list with 1 to 3 must-do items. Draft a simple plan for tomorrow. Keep it short and actionable."

If you want to be strict, add:

  • "Do not invent tasks. Only use what exists in the note."

Agent Mode approvals

When you allow SystemSculpt to write back into the note:

  • Approve only the sections you want
  • Reject anything that changes meaning
  • Re-run if the priority list is too long
