Daily Note Review Workflow (Summaries, Priorities, Tomorrow Plan)

Why this works

Most daily notes are noisy. This workflow gives you a consistent "end of day" pass that improves recall and keeps your backlog small.

Inputs (copy/paste)

Before you run this workflow, make sure your daily note includes:

• Raw notes from meetings, tasks, and ideas captured during the day.
• Open checkboxes you still need to decide on.
• Any links to project notes you touched.
• One line with today's main objective (if you had one).

Suggested note headings

Add these headings to your daily note (once) so results stay consistent:

• Recap
• Top priorities
• Open loops
• Tomorrow

Prompt template

Use a prompt like this:

• "Summarize today's note in 5 bullets, then extract tasks into a prioritized list with 1 to 3 must-do items. Draft a simple plan for tomorrow. Keep it short and actionable."

If you want to be strict, add:

• "Do not invent tasks. Only use what exists in the note."

Agent Mode approvals

When you allow SystemSculpt to write back into the note:

• Approve only the sections you want
• Reject anything that changes meaning
• Re-run if the priority list is too long

Failure modes + fixes

• Failure mode: The recap is long but priorities stay vague. Fix: Force exactly 1 to 3 must-do items before closing the note.
• Failure mode: Tasks are invented by the model. Fix: Add "Do not invent tasks" to the prompt and reject drift in approvals.
• Failure mode: Tomorrow plan is overloaded. Fix: Keep one top priority, one secondary, and one nice-to-have.

Definition of done

I treat this workflow as done when:

• Tomorrow has 1 to 3 clearly prioritized outcomes.
• Open loops are either scheduled or explicitly deferred.
• The final note was written through approvals (not blind overwrite).
