TLDR ⚡
What is 80/20? Created by LOGO.com, every issue shares AI prompts for work, money, and everyday life where AI does 80% of the work so you only do the 20% that matters.
A photo of your fridge, and dinner sorted for three nights
Your living room redesigned three ways before you spend anything
The message you keep putting off, written three ways
The one line that stops AI making things up
MAKE MEAL PREPPING EASIER 🍽️
Never stare into the fridge at 6pm again
The fridge is full, nothing in it looks like a meal, and takeout is about to win again. The spinach will not survive another day of this.
One photo of the shelves. Paste this with it attached:
"Here is a photo of my fridge. Plan three dinners for this week for [number] people using mostly what you can see. Tell me the few extra things I need to buy and keep that shopping under [amount]. Say which dinner to cook first because those ingredients will go off soonest. Keep every recipe to six steps or fewer."
Model: ChatGPT, Gemini, or Claude. All three can read a photo, and it works on the cupboard and the freezer too.

MAKE DECORATING EASIER 🛋️
See your living room three ways before you buy a thing
You know it needs something. The paint samples are still taped to the wall, the saved posts keep piling up, and a sofa is an expensive thing to get wrong.
One photo of the room and one word changed in the prompt. Paste this with the photo attached:
"Here is a photo of my living room. Redesign it in [Scandinavian / warm minimal / cottage] style. Keep the camera angle, the window, the doorway, and the sofa exactly where they are. Only change things I could realistically paint, replace, or move. Then list what you changed and roughly what each change would cost."
Model: ChatGPT or Gemini. Gemini spells better if you want words on the picture.

MAKE AWKWARD MESSAGES EASIER 💬
Send the message you have been dodging all week
The friend who owes you money. The landlord. The group chat you need to leave. You know what to say, you just cannot find the tone, so it sits in drafts for another week.
Three versions, and you pick the tone. Paste this:
"I need to send a message I keep putting off. What happened: [the situation]. Who I am writing to: [friend, landlord, boss, neighbor]. What I want to happen: [the outcome]. Write three versions, gentle, direct, and firm. Keep each one under 80 words, use plain language, do not apologize for asking, and do not make me sound like a lawyer."
Model: ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, or Copilot. This one works anywhere.

MAKE CONTRACTS EASIER 📄
Know what you signed before it costs you
Page 14 of the lease, the gym contract, the phone plan. That is exactly where the notice period, the amenity fee, and the deposit rules live, and nobody finds them until they cost money.
Paste the whole document in with this and get back only the lines that can cost you, each with its clause number so you can check:
"Read this [rental agreement, insurance policy, phone bill, gym contract] and explain it to me like I am in a hurry. Tell me what I am actually paying, what is not covered, the three things most likely to cost me money later, and any date I need to put in my calendar. Quote the exact line for each point so I can check it myself. If something is unclear, say so instead of guessing."
Model: Claude or ChatGPT. Claude copes best with the really long documents.

MAKE FACT CHECKING EASIER 🔍
Make AI show its receipts
It will hand you a price, a rule, or an opening time with total confidence and be a year out of date. You only find out when you forward it to someone who knows better.
One extra line on the end of any question that has a number in it:
"Answer this using current sources rather than memory: [your question]. Link every claim, tell me the date each source was published, and put anything you cannot confirm in a separate list called Not verified. If sources disagree, show me both."
Model: Perplexity is built for this. The same line works in ChatGPT or Gemini with search switched on.
Rule of thumb: Anything with a price, a date, or a rule attached, ask for the sources.
