Prioritizing an overloaded workload

## Prompt

Help review this week's workload: {tasks}. Available time and mandatory meetings: {capacity}. Priority rules: {rules}. Separate fixed commitments from desirable tasks. Propose an execution queue and explain which tasks to defer; identify what needs clarifying for unestimated tasks. Do not allocate more work than the provided estimates allow. Draft a short message to the manager about the deadline conflict and two ways to resolve it. Do not change other people's deadlines yourself.

## Template fields

- `{tasks}` — Tasks. Example input: Deliverable, deadline, time estimate and consequences of delay
- `{capacity}` — Available time. Example input: Working hours, meetings and buffer time
- `{rules}` — Priority rules. Example input: Which commitments cannot move and who decides
