Turn a messy brain dump into a clear article
Type or dictate everything you know about a topic in any order, and get back a well-structured article that keeps your ideas and examples.
When to use it
When you know a topic but hate starting from a blank page
Step by step
Dump it all out
Spend ten minutes typing, or record a voice note and use your phone's transcription, saying everything you'd tell a friend about the topic. Don't worry about order.
Ask for structure
Paste the text into your AI assistant with this prompt.
Prompt to copyBelow is a messy brain dump about [topic] for [audience]. Turn it into a structured article of [800-1,000] words. Rules: keep my examples, opinions and phrases wherever possible; organise it into a logical order with clear H2 headings; cut repetition; flag with [CHECK] anything that sounds like a fact I should verify; flag with [GAP] anywhere a reader would need more explanation. Then list 3 title options. Brain dump: [paste].Fill the gaps
Work through the [CHECK] and [GAP] flags, adding detail or fixing facts yourself.
Read it aloud
Reading it aloud is the quickest way to spot sentences that don't sound like you.
What you get
Title: What I've Learnt From 10 Years of Wedding Flowers. H2s: Start with the venue, not the flowers. Seasonal blooms save money. The bouquet that wilted. [CHECK] 'Peonies are only in season in May and June.' [GAP] Explain how far ahead to book.
Tips
- Speaking often gives a more natural voice than typing; try a walk with a voice note.
