Monday meeting prep automation
Every Monday: a one-page brief for the week's meetings from your notes and files.
Last reviewed July 17, 2026
A cron automation recipe that builds prep briefs each Monday from your meetings list and Drive notes: context, open threads, and the ask per meeting.
Schedule: Mondays at 07:30
30 7 * * 1Automation instructions
Read /Meetings/this-week.md (I keep the week's meetings there: name, attendees, purpose). For each meeting, build a mini-brief from my Drive notes and past meeting summaries: (1) the last interaction with these people and what was promised, quoting my own notes; (2) open threads that will come up; (3) my objective for this meeting in one sentence, inferred from the purpose and flagged as a suggestion; (4) the 2 documents or numbers to have open. Write it all to /Meetings/prep-YYYY-MM-DD.md, one section per meeting, hardest meeting first. Where my notes are silent on someone, say so; do not invent history.
Set it up
- 1
Keep the meetings file
A weekly 2-minute habit: list the week's meetings in /Meetings/this-week.md on Friday or Monday early.
- 2
Copy the instructions
The brief quality tracks your notes quality; the meeting scribe agent template upstream feeds this perfectly.
- 3
Create the automation
07:30 Monday means the brief exists before your first coffee refill.
