Set rules for your group chats: no short replies, batch messages, specific @s.

Group similar tasks into one slot.

Repeat the same refusal in the same words calmly, no matter how the other person reshapes the pressure.

Say no in three sentences: thanks, refusal, closing — with no "sorry" or justification.

Memorize one 7-word refusal sentence and rehearse it until it emerges automatically under pressure.

Say "no, I can't" — complete sentence. No explanation, no apology.

Instead of processing 50 in one batch, process 1 then pass — faster, fewer errors.

RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) fetches real docs for the model before answering. Know the difference.

Turn a 200-page PDF into a Q&A conversation with exact-quote answers.

Instead of checking 80 times daily, set 3 fixed times — outside them, don't look.

10am and 4pm only. Otherwise: closed. No one dies if your reply takes 2 hours.

Before asking AI, paste relevant docs/refs. It answers from "your knowledge", not its imagination.
