Real use case

Replace the placeholders with your own context before you run the prompt. That usually improves the first output more than adding more instructions later.

Prompt

Apply the Systematic Repetitive Task Elimination framework to my team/role.\\\\\\\\n\\\\\\\\n**Context:**\\\\\\\\n- My role: [JOB TITLE AND RESPONSIBILITIES]\\\\\\\\n- Team size: [NUMBER] people\\\\\\\\n- Average hourly cost per person: $[AMOUNT]\\\\\\\\n- Available budget for tools: $[AMOUNT]/month\\\\\\\\n\\\\\\\\n**List of repetitive tasks to analyze:**\\\\\\\\n[FOR EACH TASK, PROVIDE:\\\\\\\\n1. [TASK] — [FREQUENCY] — [TIME SPENT] — [WHO DOES IT]\\\\\\\\n2. [TASK] — [FREQUENCY] — [TIME SPENT] — [WHO DOES IT]\\\\\\\\n...continue for all tasks]\\\\\\\\n\\\\\\\\n**For each task, apply the 4D matrix:**\\\\\\\\n\\\\\\\\n1) **Delete (Eliminate):**\\\\\\\\n- Does this task really need to be done?\\\\\\\\n- What happens if you simply stop?\\\\\\\\n- Is there an original reason that no longer exists?\\\\\\\\n\\\\\\\\n2) **Delegate:**\\\\\\\\n- Can it be done by someone more junior?\\\\\\\\n- Can it be outsourced (VA, freelancer)?\\\\\\\\n- Cost of delegation vs. current cost\\\\\\\\n\\\\\\\\n3) **Diminish (Simplify):**\\\\\\\\n- Can it be done less frequently?\\\\\\\\n- Can it be done in fewer steps?\\\\\\\\n- Does it really need this level of detail?\\\\\\\\n\\\\\\\\n4) **Do Automatically:**\\\\\\\\n- Viable tool (Zapier, Make, script, ChatGPT, RPA)\\\\\\\\n- Implementation cost (time + tool)\\\\\\\\n- Monthly recurring cost\\\\\\\\n- Implementation time\\\\\\\\n\\\\\\\\n**For each task, calculate:**\\\\\\\\n- Current annual cost: hours × frequency × cost/hour\\\\\\\\n- Proposed solution cost (setup + annual recurring)\\\\\\\\n- ROI in months: when the investment pays back\\\\\\\\n- Implementation priority (quick win vs. project)\\\\\\\\n\\\\\\\\n**Deliver:**\\\\\\\\n- Comparative table with all tasks\\\\\\\\n- 90-day implementation roadmap\\\\\\\\n- Concise business case for stakeholder presentation\\\\\\\\n- Total projected savings (hours and dollars per year)
