From Inbox Chaos to Auto‑Ops: Halve Admin Time with GPT‑5
Why We Use It
Most solopreneurs bleed hours to “work about work”—email, scheduling, finding docs. Asana estimates this at ~60% of the day. GPT‑5 turns that sludge into crisp, automated flows. Real‑world pilots show sizable gains (UK gov: 26 minutes/day; many leaders report 1+ hour). These prompts convert admin into outcomes, fast. Expect fewer clicks and more shipped work

3) Calendar Auto‑Architect
Design meeting windows, buffers, and auto‑declines to protect focus.
Prompt:
“Create a weekly template using maker mornings and manager afternoons. Rules: meeting windows only [times], 15‑min default, 24‑hr notice, no Fridays p.m. Generate: policy blurb, an .ics pack for anchors, and a scriptable checklist to sync with [Calendly/Cal.com].”
4) CRM Updater + Follow‑Up Builder
Log calls/emails and auto‑schedule the next touch.

5) Docs & Forms Autofill
Stop retyping: auto‑populate contracts, quotes, intake forms.

Automate categorization and invoicing.
Prompt:

7) Support Inbox to Knowledge Base
Reduce repeat questions and response time.
Prompt:
“Cluster these support emails: [paste]. For each cluster: draft a 2‑step canned reply, create/refresh a KB article outline, and suggest an automation (trigger, action, fields) for [Helpdesk tool] + [Notion/Confluence]. Output links, tags, and a 7‑day rollout.”
8) Lead Capture → Nurture on Autopilot
Turn forms into segmented drips that convert.
Prompt:
“Given form fields: [fields], segment leads (ICP fit, intent). Draft a 5‑email sequence per segment with CTAs to [Lead Magnet URL] and [Book a Call URL]. Provide UTM‑tagged links, send‑times, and webhooks for [ESP] + [CRM]. Include compliance footer for [region].”
9) SOP Forge (One‑Pager)
Codify repeat work so it’s delegate‑ready.
