The email triage track proved the pattern: describe what you want, and Claude builds it in Notion while you watch. In this episode, Jason applies that same pattern to his calendar.
After a quick recap of the Notion mental model (a page is a note, a database is a list of notes), Jason writes a single prompt asking Claude to create a Calendar Triage database with fields for event, date, day type, prep required, prep notes, key people, conflicts, and status. Along the way he shows how to pare a complex field list down to something simpler, and why you can pick whatever columns fit your own workflow.
Once the database exists, he skips manual data entry entirely. A second prompt tells Claude to read his calendar for the next three days and file each day into the database, filling every field. Claude pulls the events, flags prep requirements, and writes prep notes for an upcoming meeting and a four-hour Trusted Advisors session.
This database becomes the calendar half of the morning briefing system. Next episode: turning this into a recurring scheduled task so the triage runs itself, just like email. And a look further ahead: automatic dossiers on anyone you're meeting for the first time.
