I keep a running list of every annoying task that lands on my plate each week.
It used to be seven pages long. Things like "rewrite the invoice email for the third client who forgot to include the PO number," "draft an SOP for the new VA before she starts Monday," and "send a polite but firm reminder to the vendor who has been 'replying tomorrow' for nine days."
None of it is hard. All of it eats hours. And almost none of it requires a human in the loop if you give the AI enough structure.
So I built a pack of 100 prompts that handle my full back-office load. Below is the actual workflow I run every Monday — copy it, tweak the prompts to your business, and reclaim your week.
The Monday 90-Minute Admin Block
Every Monday morning I sit down for 90 minutes and clear the entire week's back-office load. Six workflows cover about 90% of it.
1. Invoice chasing (15 min, used to take 90)
The single biggest time sink for any solo founder is waiting on late payments. Most clients aren't trying to be difficult — they just lost the email, or the invoice PDF didn't render, or they need a different billing address.
I run a 3-prompt chain:
Prompt 1 — Classify the situation. Paste the original invoice thread and ask the model to label it as one of: forgot_to_pay, needs_clarification, disputed, gone_cold. Different labels trigger different reply templates.
Prompt 2 — Draft the right reply. Each label maps to a specific tone: gentle nudge for forgot_to_pay, information-gathering for needs_clarification, empathetic-but-firm for disputed, and a "final notice + late fee" for gone_cold (after day 30).
Prompt 3 — Generate the followup schedule. Output a 5-row table with date, channel, and message variant. I copy the rows into my calendar and let the automation drip them out.
That 15-minute block used to be a full Saturday morning of dread.
2. SOP writing (20 min)
Every time I hire a contractor, I promise myself I'll write the SOP first. Every time, I end up writing it during their first week while they wait.
The pack includes a 4-prompt SOP generator:
- Capture. "Watch me do this task for 10 minutes. Transcribe each step, including the tools I open, the buttons I click, and what I'm thinking at each decision point."
- Structured rewrite. Convert the transcript into numbered steps with decision trees ("If X, do A. If Y, do B.").
-
SOP shell output. Produce the final document with sections for
Goal,Pre-requisites,Step-by-step,Common mistakes, andEscalation triggers. - Loom script. A 2-minute screen-recording script with the exact words to say.
I now onboard VAs in a single afternoon instead of a week.
3. Customer support replies (15 min)
Most solo founders answer support emails the same way every time: apologize, acknowledge, propose a fix, ask a clarifying question. That's a template with four variables.
The pack ships with role-specific prompts: one for refund requests, one for bug reports, one for "how do I" questions, and one for angry customers. Each prompt produces a reply in your brand voice (you provide 3 example replies in the system prompt and the model matches the tone).
The unlock isn't "AI writes the email." The unlock is "I don't have to context-switch into support mode 8 times a day." I batch them at 11am and 4pm, and the rest of my brain stays in deep work.
4. Vendor and supplier emails (10 min)
Same pattern as customer support, different template. The pack covers: late delivery complaints, quote requests, contract renewals, and the awkward "we need to renegotiate price" conversation.
The "renegotiate price" prompt alone saved me $4,800 last year on a single SaaS contract. I asked the model to draft a polite-but-data-backed email explaining usage had dropped 60% and asking for a 25% discount or we'd cancel. Sent it. Two days later: 30% off, plus an extra seat free.
5. Weekly status reports (10 min)
Friday afternoons, I run a single prompt that ingests: my calendar, my task manager export, the support inbox summary, and the revenue dashboard screenshot. Output is a 1-page status report I send to my business coach.
What used to take an hour of "what did I even do this week" now takes 10 minutes and reads better than the human version ever did.
6. Hiring and onboarding (20 min)
The pack includes prompts for: writing a job post, screening applications, drafting interview questions, scorecard design, offer letter templates, and the first-week onboarding plan. I hired two contractors this quarter and only spent 90 minutes total on hiring admin.
What goes in the pack
The full AI Business Automation Prompt Pack is 100 prompts organized into 8 categories:
- Finance: invoicing, expense categorization, tax-prep checklists, P&L commentary
- Operations: SOPs, vendor management, quality checklists
- Customer support: 4 templates per scenario (refund, bug, question, complaint)
- Sales: cold outreach, follow-ups, proposal writing, contract redlining
- Hiring: job posts, screening, interviews, onboarding
- Marketing: weekly content calendar, repurposing engine, analytics recap
- Strategy: weekly review, OKR drafting, competitor monitoring
- Personal: weekly reflection, energy audit, decision journal
Each prompt ships with: the system prompt, 2-3 example inputs, 2-3 example outputs, and a "when not to use" note. Total length about 80 pages. Price: SGD$19 (about $14 USD).
The honest limitations
A few things this pack will NOT do:
- It won't replace a bookkeeper. Use it for the language around your books, not the actual entries.
- It won't close deals. Sales prompts draft the message, but you still need to send it and follow up.
- It won't make hard decisions for you. The "decision journal" prompt frames the choice, but you click the button.
If you're a solo founder or freelancer doing $5K-$50K MRR and you're tired of being your own COO on Sunday nights, this is the leverage layer.

If you're newer to AI prompts and want the content-creator angle first, the 50 Viral TikTok Hooks + AI Prompts pack ($3 entry tier) is a faster on-ramp: https://jackalope86.gumroad.com/l/diywdak
If this saved you a Monday, the 90-minute block is yours. Now close the laptop and go for a walk.
