Mondays get eaten by catching up. A short, repeatable routine with an AI assistant turns that hour into fifteen minutes and gives you a real plan for the week.

The routine

Minutes 1–5: Inbox

"Here are my unread emails since Friday: [PASTE OR CONNECT]. Sort into: needs me today, this week, someone else should handle (who), and FYI. One line each. Flag anything about money, deadlines or an upset customer."

Minutes 6–10: Calendar and promises

"Here's my calendar for this week: [PASTE OR CONNECT]. Point out conflicts, meetings with no clear purpose, and days with no focus time. Here's what I promised people last week: [LIST]. Which are due this week?"
