Priority Portfolio Weekly Sorter

Priority Portfolio Weekly Sorter helps you manage work like an investment portfolio instead of a flat to-do list. The prompt evaluates projects by value, risk, urgency, effort, and strategic fit, then recommends where to place attention this week. It is designed for people who have more important work than time and need a structured way to make tradeoffs.

This template is valuable for founders, product leaders, and senior operators who want a sharper prioritization matrix for weekly planning. It shows which projects deserve growth investment, maintenance, or reduction, and it highlights weakly justified work that should be paused. The output is especially helpful when multiple stakeholders are competing for attention and you need a defensible rationale for your choices. It also creates a cleaner view of the work that actually moves outcomes.

Customize the prompt with your projects in {{PROJECTS}}, strategic goals in {{STRATEGIC_GOALS}}, and current risks in {{RISKS}}. Add capacity in {{CAPACITY}} so the model can make realistic tradeoffs. If you need a stronger executive summary, ask for a one-page recommendation first. This portfolio thinking prompt works best when each project includes an outcome, deadline, and expected impact.
