TODAY: Prompts to Stop AI Clickbait at the End of Responses and End Overwhelm; PLUS, Getting Better AI Outputs by Being 'Extremely Lazy'

• ​Prompt bans end-of-answer teaser sections: Discussion on stopping ChatGPT’s “if you like this…” endings. The most useful fix in the replies is to explicitly forbid follow-up suggestions, related-topic lists, and offers for more information, then require the response to end immediately after the final sentence. (Reddit)
• ​Mental Load Mapper externalizes background stress: Long-form prompt that runs a guided brain dump across work, finances, health, relationships, and admin, then labels each item by urgency, ownership, and energy cost. Useful for turning vague overwhelm into a priority list, delegation options, and five-minute first steps. (Reddit)
• ​“Extremely lazy” phrasing yields simpler answers: Small prompting tweak for when models default to overengineered solutions. Adding a blunt constraint like “extremely lazy person here” pushes the answer toward the fastest workable path, lighter tooling, and fewer best-practice detours for coding, writing, or learning tasks. (Reddit)
