Audit my meeting calendar. A week of meetings with duration, attendees, purpose and whether I speak or decide: [MEETING_LIST]. My role and key deliverables: [ROLE_DELIVERABLES]. Focus time I need: [FOCUS_NEEDS].

Classify each meeting as decision, update, planning or social, estimate cost in hours, and recommend keep, shorten, replace with a written update, or decline. Draft polite wording for declining.

Return a table with Meeting, Value (1 to 10), Decision and Wording, total hours saved, and a rule set for accepting invitations.

Also suggest default meeting lengths of twenty-five or fifty minutes, agendas with decisions to make, and a monthly review of recurring meetings. Add a short script for asking organisers whether my attendance is needed and what outcome they hope for.

Then redesign my week with fewer, better meetings. Produce a revised calendar template showing protected focus blocks, a fixed time for administrative tasks, meeting-free periods, and a buffer after meetings. For the meetings I keep, suggest an agenda format and a goal for each. For the meetings I decline or replace with written updates, draft the message, a written update template and a decision rule for when a call is needed. Calculate the weekly hours recovered using my numbers and suggest how to use them on the deliverables I listed. Add a plan for discussing the changes with my manager, including the data from the audit and the outcomes I can promise. Include a review after four weeks to see which changes stuck, which caused problems, and how colleagues responded, with an adjustment plan.

Close by suggesting a small experiment I can run in the next two weeks to test the most uncertain recommendation before committing to a larger change.
