Create a daily work plan in 5 minutes with the updated Google Gemini Deep Research
Use the new Deep Research mode in Gemini to turn a chaotic task list into a prioritized plan with verified sources
- 1.Open gemini.google.com and sign in to your Google account. If you have a free account, Deep Research is available on a limited basis - on the home page, select the 2.0 Flash or 2.5 model, then find the «Deep Research» button in the modes list next to the input field.
Deep Research mode is gradually rolling out to all accounts. If you don't see the button yet, try switching the interface language to English (US) in your profile settings.
Google Gemini ↗About this tool - 2.Enable Deep Research mode by clicking the toggle button above the input bar. Make sure it lights up - this means Gemini will search across multiple sources in real time.
Deep Research works differently from a regular chat: Gemini runs multiple searches, reads dozens of pages, and builds a structured report. The process takes 1 - 3 minutes.
Google Gemini ↗About this tool - 3.Copy and paste the following prompt into the input field. Replace the text in square brackets with your actual situation.
The more specifically you describe your role and constraints, the more accurately Gemini will set priorities.
Google Gemini ↗About this toolPromptAct as my productivity coach. I am [project manager at a mid-size IT company]. Today I have these tasks: [1. Prepare a quarterly report for stakeholders; 2. Review two pull requests from my team; 3. Reply to 15 unread emails; 4. Prepare slides for tomorrow's client meeting at 11:00; 5. One-on-one with a new team member at 15:00]. My working hours are [9:00 - 18:00 with a lunch break at 13:00]. Research the latest time-management best practices for knowledge workers in 2025 (e.g., Eisenhower Matrix, time-blocking, deep work sessions), then create a minute-by-minute schedule for today. For each block, explain in one sentence why this task is placed at this time. Output the result as a markdown table with columns: Time | Task | Method applied | Why.
What this prompt doesThis prompt asks Gemini to act as a productivity coach: research current time-management techniques and then create a minute-by-minute plan for your day in table format. Replace the text in [square brackets]: your job title, a list of 3 - 7 real tasks, and your work schedule. - 4.Gemini will first show its research plan (which queries it will run) and ask for confirmation. Click «Start research». Wait for it to finish - usually 1 - 3 minutes, during which Gemini opens and analyzes 10 - 30 web pages.
Do not close the tab during research. If the process stops, refresh the page and try again.
Google Gemini ↗About this tool - 5.When Gemini produces the result, scroll down to the schedule table. Check that your time constraints (meetings, lunch) are taken into account. If something is off, write a clarification in the chat, for example: «Move email work to 16:00, add 30 minutes for coffee breaks».
You can ask Gemini to export the result to Google Docs - click the «Export to Docs» button below the answer.
Google Gemini ↗About this tool - 6.Copy the finished table into your calendar, Notion, or just a note on your phone. Start working on the first block.
Save the prompt from step 3 as a template - tomorrow just change the task list and repeat.
