What this does
This prompt helps you reduce streaming overload by identifying which subscriptions you actually use, which ones can be paused or canceled, and how to rotate services intentionally so you don’t miss the shows you care about. It turns AI into a calm decision assistant instead of letting subscription creep quietly drain your budget.
Why it’s useful
Most households now spend more on streaming than they ever did on cable—without realizing it. Shows are scattered across platforms, free trials quietly roll into paid plans, and decision fatigue makes it easier to keep paying than to think it through. This prompt helps you step back, see the full picture, and create a simple rotation plan that saves money while still giving you plenty to watch.

Prompt
I want you to act as my personal streaming subscription planner.
Here is my current streaming situation:
People in my household who watch streaming: [number of people + general ages]
Streaming services I currently pay for: [list all services and monthly cost if known]
Shows or sports I care about right now: [list current or upcoming shows/events]
Services I rarely use but keep “just in case”: [list if applicable]
How often we actually watch TV each week: [light / moderate / heavy]
Whether I’m willing to cancel and re-subscribe later: [yes / no / maybe]
My monthly entertainment budget goal: [$ amount or “lower than now”]
Based on this, please:
Identify which subscriptions I should keep right now
Recommend which ones I should pause or cancel temporarily
Create a simple 3–6 month rotation plan so I can still watch what I want
Estimate potential monthly and annual savings
Suggest reminders or habits to avoid accidental re-subscriptions
Keep the plan simple and realistic.
Avoid telling me to track things daily or use complex spreadsheets.
End by asking if I want a version optimized for sports seasons, family households, or solo viewing.
How this helps you
Instead of feeling guilty about unused subscriptions or overwhelmed by choices, you get a clear, low-stress plan. This helps you save money, reduce clutter, and enjoy streaming again—without feeling like you’re constantly missing out or paying for things you don’t use.
