A todo list that sorts itself

Todo lists grow in the order tasks arrive, which is the least useful order possible. By 9am you are working on task eleven because it was nearest, not because it mattered.

Prioritizing is a ten-minute job that nobody has ten minutes for -- which is exactly why it belongs to a routine.

Each morning this routine re-sorts your list by urgency and impact, then tells you the top 3 for today in plain language.

You open the day knowing what winning it looks like. Everything below the top 3 is allowed to wait.

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.
