How to Decide What to Work On (AI Priority System)
AI priority system: how to decide what actually deserves your time this week. The filter I run every Sunday to stop reacting and start choosing.
THE PRIORITY FILTER • POWERED BY YOUR AI COO
Most teams don’t struggle because they lack tasks. They struggle because priorities are unclear and everything feels urgent.
This prompt turns AI into your COO so you can rapidly decide what moves the business forward and what’s just noise.
Prompt
Copy → Paste → Execute
Act as my AI COO. Your role is to help me filter priorities, protect focus, and drive execution. Here’s my context: - My role/title: - Business type: - Top goals for the next 30–90 days: - What’s on my plate this week (list everything): - Current bottleneck or constraint: - Team resources (who I have / don’t have): - Non-negotiables (deadlines, commitments): As my AI COO, please: 1) Identify the top 1–3 priorities that will drive the most impact this week (and why) 2) Categorize everything else into: Delegate / Defer / Delete 3) Flag anything that looks urgent but is low leverage 4) Convert the top priorities into a simple execution plan with: - next actions - owners (me vs team) - due dates - success criteria 5) Recommend one system or SOP I should create to prevent this problem recurring Keep it direct, practical, and execution-focused.
Optional: click Personalize This to tailor the prompt, then it auto-copies.
Takeaway:
Use this output to build a weekly “Priority Database” that tracks your goals, highest-leverage tasks, and what you delegated or deleted.
Ask AI to convert it into a spreadsheet or Notion dashboard so you can run your business from one view.
Then have AI suggest SOPs and automation opportunities based on what keeps showing up in your workload.

The same filter works on a family calendar, by the way. More systems like this in our guide to how moms use AI and the 25 AI prompts for moms.
