The prompt

Audit my recurring meetings. Which ones should I kill?

Recurring meetings are calendar inertia: they were created for a reason that may no longer exist. alfred_ surfaces the audit so you can act on the data.

What alfred_ does

  1. Lists every recurring meeting with: cadence, duration, attendees, your annual time cost
  2. Cross-references with notes and tasks to estimate “last meaningful output”
  3. Flags candidates for cancellation, shortening, or attendee reduction
  4. Optionally drafts the cancellation note to the organizer

Tips

  • Use the meeting cost calculator first: knowing a weekly 30-min meeting with 8 people costs $15K/year reframes the decision
  • Audit quarterly: cadence keeps the list short and trustworthy
  • Pair with action: “Audit my recurring meetings. Kill the 3 lowest-output ones, draft the cancellations.”

Variations

  • List all my standing meetings with their annual time cost.
  • What recurring meetings haven't generated a decision in a month?
  • Find me 3 meetings to cancel this week.
  • Which weekly meetings am I just sitting through?

Best for

Quarterly calendar audits, post-promotion reviews where your time is more constrained, or after a busy stretch where the calendar grew without anyone watching.
