Ask your AI assistant what needs doing today

An AI assistant can help you choose today's work by reading your World's Best To-Do List (WBTDL) tasks through MCP and suggesting a short list. Tell it how much time you have and what matters today. Then choose which tasks it should put in High Priority.

The WBTDL connection supplies your task titles and statuses. Calendar details need to come from you or another connected tool. A little context makes the review more useful.

Give it the day you're actually having

“What should I do today?” leaves a lot to guess. Say that you have an hour before a meeting, that the client reply matters most, or that you need one quiet task to start. Use the time you can spend, rather than the time you wish you had.

Read my active WBTDL tasks. Focus on open tasks assigned to me, and show which are already High Priority. I have about 90 minutes this morning, and getting the client proposal ready matters most. Suggest up to three tasks. Explain any assumptions and don't change the list yet.

The task reader doesn't supply duration estimates. If the assistant guesses that something will take ten minutes and you know it needs an hour, say so before planning the morning around it.

Check whose work you're looking at

Shared-page tasks can appear in the assistant's results. Asking only for High Priority can also return tasks assigned to other people. Include “assigned to me” in the request so the assistant checks the assignee as well as the priority flag.

Review waiting tasks separately. “Get proposal approval” may matter a great deal, but if you're waiting on a response, the useful action might be to follow up. The waiting-on guide explains how to keep that distinction visible.

Make a small, explicit update

After reviewing the suggestions, name the tasks you want in High Priority. Say whether existing priorities should stay. For example: “Add ‘Draft proposal pricing section’ to High Priority. Leave the other priority settings as they are, then show my updated High Priority tasks.”

High Priority is a flag you can change. It doesn't book time, set a deadline, or trigger a reminder. You can ask the assistant to remove a task from High Priority when your plans change without marking the work complete.

What if the summary seems incomplete?

WBTDL returns up to 500 active tasks per call, with filters for status and High Priority. Archived History isn't included. If you have a large list, don't treat an assistant's summary as an exhaustive review. Check the app for missing work and read the current MCP limits.

To try this with your own list, connect an assistant through the MCP setup page, then start with a read-only review.
