What they did
During the day, Ron drops messy notes into an Obsidian folder. At the end of the day he asks Claude Code to write summaries, pull every action item into a task file and group them by high, medium and low priority, with an owner and a deadline.
How it went
He says he saves 30 to 45 minutes a day, and later added morning and evening routines.
Good to know
It works with any folder of plain-text notes; no specific app is required.
The prompt
Here are my notes from today: [paste]. Write a 3-line summary of each meeting, extract every action item with an owner and deadline, and group them into HIGH, MEDIUM and LOW. Mark with "?" anything that has no clear owner.
Replace what is in [brackets]. Prompt written by us from the account, not a literal copy of the source. Do not paste other people’s personal data (privacy laws such as LGPD and GDPR apply).
