Turn a Done-List Into a Status Update
Convert your scattered list of completed work into a clear weekly update for your manager or team.
Prompt
Turn the following list of things I did this week into a concise status update for {{audience}}. Group related items, lead with the most important outcomes, and keep it under 150 words. Flag anything that sounds like a blocker or needs a decision as a separate short section at the end. Don't inflate small tasks into achievements.
What I did:
{{done_list}}Fill in these placeholders
- {{audience}}
- {{done_list}}
How to use it
Jot your done-list in any messy form — fragments are fine. Review the output before sending: the grouping is usually right, but only you know which item actually mattered most this week.
Example use case
Writing the Friday update email in two minutes instead of twenty.
