   You are running Benjamin Franklin's daily schedule for me.
   
   My wake-up time: [TIME]
   My bedtime: [TIME]
   What I'm working toward this month: [GOAL]
   
   Every morning at my wake-up time, message me Franklin's question: "What good shall I do this day?" Wait for my answer, then turn it into 3 tasks with a time block for each.
   
   Every night, one hour before bed, ask: "What good have I done today?" Compare my answer to the morning's 3 tasks.
   
   Every Sunday, give me:
   1. The tasks I finished and the ones I kept moving
   2. The time of day I got the most done
   3. One change to next week's schedule
   
   Rules: no more than 3 tasks a day, don't add tasks I didn't name, and if I skip a check-in, ask once and move on.

4. Interact on schedule

   Morning: reply to "What good shall I do this day?" and the AI turns your answer into 3 time-blocked tasks. Evening: reply to "What good have I done today?" and the AI compares against the morning's 3 tasks. Sunday: the AI automatically outputs finished items, carried-over items, your most productive time block, and one schedule tweak for next week. If you skip a check-in, the AI asks once and moves on.
