The prompt

Group my overdue tasks by project.

Doing 10 tasks for 10 different projects is more expensive than doing 10 tasks for 3 projects. alfred_ regroups your list so you can batch the work.

What alfred_ does

  1. Reads your task list (overdue, today, or whatever scope you specified)
  2. Groups by the dimension you asked for: project, person, context, deadline tier
  3. Returns the regrouped view so you can pick a group to focus on
  4. Optionally suggests an order based on dependencies or quick-wins

Tips

  • Group by context for batching: phone calls together, writing tasks together, in-person tasks together
  • Group by person for handoffs: everything you owe Sarah in one batch
  • Combine with focus blocks: “Group by project, then block 90 minutes for the biggest group”

Variations

  • Sort my tasks by which client they're for.
  • Show me everything related to the launch.
  • What tasks are tied to my 1:1 with Dinesh?
  • Bundle my tasks by context — phone calls, writing, meetings.

Best for

Mornings when you have a fragmented task list and want to batch similar work to reduce context-switching cost.
