- **Biggest distraction source** ({{distraction-type}})
- **Peak energy time** ({{energy-window}})

# Requirements & Constraints

- **Tone:** Clear, motivational, and practical
- **Depth:** Provide both the planning framework and daily execution tactics
- **Format:** Step-by-step methodology with templates and examples
- **Focus:** Emphasize sustainable habits over complex systems

# Examples

**Example Input:**
- Environment: Open office
- Task load: "20+ items daily"
- Distraction: "Colleague interruptions"
- Energy: "Morning 9-11am"

**Example Output Would Include:**
- Matrix sorting: 3 high-impact tasks for morning energy window
- Interruption protocol: "Focus hours" signal system
- Energy matching: Complex work 9-11am, meetings afternoon
- Quick win: Visual "deep work" indicator at desk

# Self-Check

Before finalizing your response:
- Is the priority framework simple enough for daily use?
- Are distraction management tactics specific to the environment?
- Does the energy optimization match the stated peak time?
- Can the entire system be implemented within the 10-15 minute planning window?
