Before you start
Connect ChatGPT, Claude or Codex
- AikenDewit is connected to your ChatGPT or Claude. It takes a link and a sign-in.
- Can edit tasks is on for that app in AikenDewit, under Settings → Connectors. Without it, the app can read your tasks but can’t change them.
- A few long-term priorities in AikenDewit, above your task list, so it knows what matters beyond today’s deadlines.
- Time estimates on the tasks you’re likely to do. Work blocks use them.
The prompt
Plan my day in AikenDewit. Read my plan and long-term priorities, my tasks that are overdue or due today, and today’s AikenDewit calendar. Check my other calendar too if you can. Suggest my Top 3 for today with one line on why each matters, then work blocks for them in my free time. When I say yes, set my Top 3 and put the blocks on my AikenDewit calendar.
What it reads
- Your plan: the task you’re working on now, your Next tasks queue, today’s Top 3 and your long-term priorities.
- Tasks that are overdue or due today.
- AikenDewit’s calendar: work blocks, blocked time and tasks due at a set time.
- Your other calendar, if your AI app can read it through its own connector. Those events stay between you and that app.
What it changes
Today’s Top 3 holds up to three tasks. Your AI app sets the whole list at once, keeping any pick you didn’t ask it to change.
A work block lasts from 15 minutes to 12 hours within one day, and uses the task’s estimate if you don’t give an end time. It can add up to 12 at once. Blocks can’t overlap another block or blocked time, or start in the past, and scheduling never changes a due date.
Adjust it as the day goes
- “I only have three hours today.”
- “Keep my afternoon free.”
- “Move the report block to 4pm.”
- “Take the gym block off my calendar.”
- “Start the first one, and queue the rest after it.”
Questions about planning your day
- Can ChatGPT or Claude plan my day?
- Yes. Connected to AikenDewit with Can edit tasks on, it reads your tasks, long-term priorities and AikenDewit calendar, suggests today’s Top 3 and work blocks, and sets them when you agree.
- Does it add events to my Google Calendar?
- No. It puts work blocks on AikenDewit’s calendar. It can read your Google or Apple Calendar only through its own connector, to plan around your meetings.
- What are long-term priorities?
- Up to eight goals you write above your task list in AikenDewit, such as finishing a thesis or getting fit. Your AI app and Aiken use them to choose between tasks. An AI app can read them but not change them.
