# Busywork day handed to Cowork

Claude Cowork sorted a 200-file folder, built a weekly metrics report from several sources, and turned messy notes into a structured draft.

Result: The folder was renamed and deduplicated, the report draft needed only light editing, and the notes became a structured draft with the synthesis done.

## How it was set up

Claude Cowork in the Claude desktop app, pointed at local files and folders. The agent showed a plan first and the author approved it before work began.

## Worth knowing

Cowork uses usage limits much faster than Chat, so heavy use points to the Max plan. Scheduled tasks are still in beta.

## Prompt

```text
Sort this folder, rename files sensibly, flag duplicates, keep originals, and tell me what is worth keeping. Folder: [path].
```

## Evidence note

First-person review with no screenshots or numbers for the author's own tasks
