Monday Week-Start Briefing

Start every week with a clear picture of what needs your attention — open threads, commitments, calendar priorities.

The prompt
Every Monday at 7:00 AM, prepare my week-start briefing. Search my emails and Teams messages from the last 7 days and my calendar for this week. Produce:
- Unresolved email threads I have not replied to — list each with sender, subject, and age, sorted oldest first
- Commitments I made to others in the last 7 days that I have not followed up on — list each with the date I made it and who I made it to
- Meetings this week that need preparation — for each one, include key context from my past exchanges with those attendees
- One thing I should proactively reach out about this week based on what you found

Format as a briefing I can read in under 3 minutes. Do not send or post anything — deliver this as a message to me only.
