Know which meetings need homework

The worst meeting is the one you prepare for in the elevator. The agenda was sent three days ago, the deal matters, and your prep window was the forty seconds before you said hello.

Prep does not fail from laziness. It fails because nobody told you this meeting needed it, early enough to matter.

Every morning, this routine lists the meetings in the next 48 hours that need work from you: agendas to read, numbers to pull, people to brief.

You get a queue, not a vague feeling of being behind. Do the prep in order, and the important meetings stop being improvised.

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.
