Prompt

    Help me prioritize my task list — I have too much and need to know what to do first.

My tasks (paste the list, with any deadlines or context):
{{tasks}}

What I'm optimizing for right now (a deadline, a goal, reducing stress): {{goal}}

Please:
- Sort the tasks by **urgency and importance** (an Eisenhower-style view works well: do now / schedule / delegate or minimize / drop).
- Give me a clear **recommended order** to actually work through them.
- Flag anything that looks like it could be **dropped, delegated, or deferred** without real cost — reducing the list is as valuable as ordering it.
- Note any task that's actually blocking others, so it jumps the queue.

Base priorities on the deadlines and goal I gave you; where you're guessing at importance, say so and let me correct it. If two things genuinely compete, lay out the tradeoff rather than picking arbitrarily. If a task is unclear or missing a deadline I'd need, ask.
