1

Set Up Frictionless Task Capture

Create an iPhone Shortcut using 'Dictate Text' to append tasks to a Reminders list or text file. Assign this shortcut to the 'Back Tap' accessibility feature to capture to-dos without unlocking your phone.

2

Initiate Daily Planning with Claude

In your computer's terminal, run a custom command that triggers a script for Claude Code. This script should be configured to pull tasks from your capture list, read a preferences file, and check your calendar.

Prompt:
plan my day

Receive Intelligent Task Breakdown

Tell Claude your high-level goals for the day. Allow the AI to analyze large, multi-step tasks and break them down into a single, manageable first step that it can schedule for you.

4

Use the 'Yappers API' for Continuous Learning

Keep the Claude terminal open and verbally inform it when you complete tasks. This creates a log of your actual activity versus your planned schedule.

5

Review and Adapt Your System

At the end of the day, ask Claude to analyze the differences between your planned and completed tasks. It can use these insights to automatically update its understanding of your work habits.
