plan-my-day

What This Skill Does

The plan-my-day skill transforms how you approach your daily productivity by acting as an intelligent scheduling assistant. It leverages circadian rhythm research and GTD (Getting Things Done) principles to create an energy-optimized, time-blocked plan tailored specifically to your cognitive patterns. Unlike generic AI prompts that provide inconsistent advice, this skill maintains a memory of your scheduling history and utilizes a rigid decision framework. By mapping high-cognitive tasks to your peak energy windows and protecting recovery periods, it minimizes decision fatigue and maximizes output. It considers your fixed calendar events, identifies your top three priorities based on impact and urgency, and implements a structured workflow that accounts for ultradian rhythms. It is designed to turn chaos into a clean, actionable hour-by-hour roadmap for your day.

Installation

To integrate this skill into your OpenClaw environment, use the following command in your terminal or command-line interface:

clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/brianrwagner/brw-plan-my-day

Ensure that you have your OpenClaw CLI properly authenticated before running the installation command to ensure repository access.

Use Cases

• The Overwhelmed Professional: Use this if you have a massive to-do list and struggle to decide where to start your day.
• Shift Workers or Non-Traditional Schedules: Use the --peak and --recovery flags to align your workload with your unique sleep/wake cycle rather than standard 9-5 defaults.
• Daily Reviewers: Use the skill as part of your end-of-day shutdown routine to analyze what you accomplished and prepare for the following morning.

Example Prompts

1. /plan-my-day (Generates the default plan based on current calendar context)
2. /plan-my-day 2023-11-20 (Generates a plan specifically for a future date, respecting scheduled commitments)
3. /plan-my-day --peak 10-12,15-17 --recovery 14-15 (Generates a custom plan for a user whose energy peaks later in the day and requires a mid-afternoon recovery window)

Tips & Limitations

• Be specific with priorities: The skill works best when provided with a clear list of potential tasks during the context-gathering phase.
• Consistency is key: The skill features a learning memory; using it daily improves the accuracy of the scheduling suggestions over time.
• Calendar Sync: Ensure your calendar is connected to your OpenClaw agent, as the skill cannot optimize around events it cannot see. This skill does not automatically execute tasks; it is a planning tool, not an automation bot for task completion.
