## Prompt

```text
Help me redesign my role so more of my time goes to strategic, higher-value work.

**My role and level:** [DETAILS]
**How I spend a typical week (tasks and hours):** [LIST]
**What my manager and the business most need from my role:** [GOALS, PRIORITIES]
**Strategic work I want more of:** [e.g. "shaping the roadmap", "advising leaders", "client strategy"]
**Constraints:** [team size, who could take work, tools available, what I cannot drop]

Steps:
1. Sort my current work into: strategic (shapes decisions or direction), operational (keeps things running), and low-value (could be dropped with little impact).
2. For operational and low-value work, choose an option for each: eliminate, simplify, automate or hand to AI, delegate, or batch. Name who or what would take it and the risk.
3. Define the strategic work concretely: decisions I would influence, outputs I would produce, and who I would work with.
4. Show a target week: hours per category now vs. in 3 months.

Return:
1. A table: Task | Category | Option | New owner or tool | Hours freed | Risk.
2. My redesigned role in 5 bullets, phrased the way I could describe it to my manager.
3. A 3-month transition plan with checkpoints.
4. Talking points for the conversation with my manager, including what they gain and how we would measure it.

The final decision is my manager's and mine; flag anything that may need HR input, such as a change in title or scope.
