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.

The closet door doesn't quite close anymore, and every time you open it, you shut it again.

A photo of the closet, shelf, or drawer. Paste this with the photo attached:

"Here's a photo of my [closet, shelf, or drawer]. Give me a 20 minute plan to clear it in four 5 minute rounds. Tell me exactly what to pull out first, what to ask myself before I keep something, and where each pile should go: keep, donate, sell, or toss. Point out anything in the photo that looks like it belongs in another room."

Model: ChatGPT, Gemini, or Claude. All three read photos. Step back so the whole space fits in one shot.

A little orange light just came on, the manual is buried somewhere in the glovebox, and you're 20 minutes from home.

A photo of the dashboard with the light on, plus your car's year, make, and model. Paste this with the photo attached:

"This light just came on in my [year, make, model]. Here's a photo of the dashboard. Tell me what the light most likely means, how urgent it is (pull over now, get it checked this week, or fine for now), and what I can safely check myself in the next 10 minutes. Then tell me what to say to the mechanic so I don't pay for things I don't need."

Model: ChatGPT, Gemini, or Claude. If the light is flashing, or you smell or see anything strange, pull over somewhere safe first and ask questions after.

Two plans, two brochures, and a lot of words like "coinsurance" that nobody ever explains at the kitchen table.

The summary pages for the plans you're choosing between, plus how you usually use care. Paste this with them attached:

"Here are the summaries for [number] health plans I'm choosing between. My household is [who's covered]. In a normal year we have about [number] doctor visits, [number] prescriptions, and [anything planned, like a surgery or a baby]. Compare the plans in a simple table: monthly cost, deductible, out of pocket max, and what a normal year would cost us in total. Then tell me what a bad year would cost on each one. Explain any terms in plain English and flag anything I should confirm with the insurer."

Model: ChatGPT, Gemini, or Claude. All three read PDFs. On HealthCare.gov, open enrollment runs November 1 to January 15, and you need to pick by December 15 for coverage that starts January 1.

Everyone wants to get together, nobody can agree on a day, and the chat is now mostly thumbs up emojis.

Screenshots of the group chat. Paste this with them attached:

"Here are screenshots from a group chat where we're trying to plan [event]. Read everyone's messages and pull out who can make which dates, any budget or food limits people mentioned, and what still hasn't been decided. Then suggest the one plan that works for the most people, and write a short, friendly message I can paste back into the chat asking everyone to confirm by [day]."

Model: ChatGPT, Gemini, or Claude. All three read screenshots. Crop out phone numbers before you upload.

You asked a yes or no question. You got six paragraphs, three headings, and a "Great question!"

Nothing to attach. Paste this at the start of any chat:

"Answer in three sentences or less. Lead with the answer, then the one reason that matters most. No intro, no summary, and no bullet points unless I ask. If you're not sure, say so in one line and tell me what you'd need to know."

Model: ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, or Copilot. Save it in your settings, like custom instructions in ChatGPT or personal preferences in Claude, so it sticks.

Rule of thumb: If you have to scroll to find the answer, ask for the short version first.
