Use a PM agent to set, prioritize, and review your daily work. The agent holds context across days so you do not have to re-explain yourself every morning.
The hardest part of solo or near-solo work is not the doing, it is the deciding. Every morning you have a hundred things you could do. The wrong choice is invisible. You only realize on Friday that you spent the week on the wrong work.
The PM agent solves this. Not by being smarter than you. By holding the context across days, reading the status file, knowing what is open, and putting choices in front of you in the right order. You make the calls; the PM agent does the staging.

Same shape every day. Twenty minutes. Sets the rest of the day.
Three things that make this work over weeks, not just one morning.
Not a calendar (your calendar stays the calendar). Not a productivity coach (no nudges, no streaks). Not a journal (no feelings logged). It is a planning partner. One specific job, done well.
You need the PM agent from your IL agent team installed (or a generic Claude agent with a PM role prompt) and a project-status.html from Protocol 13.
"Use the PM agent. Good morning. What do we have on for tomorrow?"
It will open project-status.html, list the in-progress epics, and ask one or two clarifying questions about priority or constraints.
Tell the PM: "I have a meeting from 10 to 11 and another from 2 to 3. Plan around them." The PM should propose work blocks, not a wall of tasks.
Read the plan. If something is wrong, say so. "Move the epic 02 work to the morning. Move the writing to after the 2pm." The PM adjusts in seconds.
Ask the PM to write docs/plans/[tomorrow's date].md. That file becomes the morning's first read. Tomorrow you wake up, open the file, and the day is staged.
A daily plan written by the PM agent for an actual day, the morning ritual practiced once, and the planning artifact saved to disk. The plan survives a restart, a different chat, and a different machine.
You greet your PM agent and it plans your tomorrow in three minutes, accounting for an actual meeting in your calendar and the actual epic you have open.
