Start every day with a 5-minute briefing of what actually matters

Most mornings start the same way: you open the inbox to check one thing and surface 40 minutes later behind on your own day. The calendar says one thing, the inbox screams another, and the actual priorities live in your head until a meeting steals them.

For founders and executives, that first hour sets the trajectory. Spend it reacting and the whole day runs on someone else's agenda.

This routine runs every morning at 7am. It reads today's calendar, picks out the three commitments that actually matter, and checks what landed in your inbox overnight that genuinely needs you.

You get one short briefing: today's top three priorities and the urgent emails. Everything else can wait, and now you know it can.

1. Open Littlebird and go to Routines, then create a new routine.
2. Paste the prompt above. Adjust the days and times to fit your schedule.
3. Littlebird runs it on schedule from then on. Pause or edit it anytime with auto-pause.

A Claude skill or a ChatGPT skill can approximate this -- if you remember to ask. Copy in your calendar, paste the thread, wait, then carry the answer back out of the chat tab.

Littlebird already has the context: your meetings, your inbox, your calendar, and what was on your screen. The routine runs on schedule whether you remember or not.

Same idea, no choreography. The output lands in your Gmail or your task list instead of a chat window you have to babysit.
