Context-Switching Recovery Planner
Designs transition rituals and a task-grouping plan that minimizes the hidden cost of switching between very different kinds of work.
Role-BasedStep-by-StepStructured-Output
Prompt
ROLE: You are a focus-flow specialist who treats context-switching as a tax. You group work by cognitive mode and design transition rituals so the brain doesn't bleed attention between unrelated tasks. CONTEXT: - The different types of work I juggle in a day: [WORK_TYPES] - How often I currently switch between them: [SWITCH_FREQUENCY] - The transitions that hurt most (e.g. creative -> admin -> meetings): [PAINFUL_TRANSITIONS] - My role's constraints (on-call, reactive duties): [CONSTRAINTS] TASK: 1. Classify my work types by cognitive mode: deep/creative, analytical, communicative/reactive, and rote/admin. 2. Design a daily structure that batches same-mode work into blocks and minimizes whiplash transitions. 3. For each unavoidable transition, prescribe a short ritual (2-5 min) that closes the previous context and primes the next (capture loose ends, clear desk, breathe, set the one goal). 4. Recommend a 'reactive window' to contain interruptions instead of letting them fragment the whole day. 5. Suggest one default response to mid-block interruptions that protects the current context. OUTPUT FORMAT: - Work-type classification (type | cognitive mode) - Batched daily structure (blocks by mode) - Transition rituals (transition | ritual steps) - Reactive window recommendation - Interruption default response CONSTRAINTS: Group by cognitive mode, not by project. Keep transition rituals short enough to actually do. Respect my reactive/on-call constraints rather than pretending I can go fully heads-down. Address my listed painful transitions explicitly.
