・ "Review my meetings this week and create 5-7 categories that describe how I am spending
my time. For each category, provide a short description and give me an approximate
percentage of time I spent there."
・ "Take the [Analysis for FY23] doc that XX sent me last week and the transcript of the meeting
we had on that topic this afternoon and give me a set of 5 recommendations for what you
think we should do next."
