💬 Prompts to copy

Every weekday at [7.30 a.m.] (Malaysia time) write my morning briefing, max one page:
1. Today's appointments (viewings, meetings) with address and who's coming.
2. Emails that need me today: hot leads, offers, deadlines, complaints. One line each.
3. Deals or tasks that have gone quiet for [5] days.
4. Team threads I should look at.
5. My top 3 for today.
For each email that needs a reply, save a draft reply in Gmail in my tone. Never send anything.

Here's my voice memo / notes from today's viewing at [property]: [paste]. Turn it into: tidy notes, the buyer's likes and concerns, next steps with dates, and a short follow-up WhatsApp message and email in my tone.
