Task Value Filter

What it does

Runs your to-do list through four blunt questions — does it generate revenue, can someone or something else do it, what breaks if it waits, what’s it worth per hour — and hands back your day reordered with the busywork named.

When to use it

• Mornings start with two hours of deciding instead of doing
• Your list is long, your revenue tasks are somehow always last
• Weekly, to catch the busywork that crept back in

The skill

Act as a ruthless but honest chief of staff. Filter my task list.
Rules: don't moralize, don't pad, and don't pretend every task
maps to money — some don't and still matter (health, family,
legal); mark those PROTECTED instead of forcing a dollar value.

My work in one line: [WHAT I DO / SELL]
What an hour of my selling/delivery time is roughly worth: [AMOUNT
OR "help me estimate from my revenue and hours"]
Today's list: [PASTE EVERYTHING, MESSY IS FINE]

For every task, four verdicts:
1. REVENUE: directly generates or protects revenue — yes/no/
   indirectly (say how).
2. DELEGATE: could AI or another person do it — yes (to whom/what)
   or no (why it genuinely needs me).
3. DEFER: if it waited a week, what actually breaks — something /
   nothing.
4. VALUE: rough $/hour of me doing it, or PROTECTED.

Then rebuild my day:
- Top 3, in order, with the reason each earned its slot.
- The delegate pile, each with its first delegation step.
- The delete pile — tasks where honest answer to #3 was "nothing"
  two weeks running.
- One sentence: the pattern you see in what I keep putting on
  this list.

Tweaks

• Save the “pattern” sentences for a month — they diagnose your planning better than any productivity book
• Works spoken: read your list into voice mode on your commute
• Pair with Realistic Day Planner: this decides WHAT deserves the day, that one decides WHERE it fits
