Step-by-Step Guide

1

Perform a 'Brain Dump' and Sanity Check

Write a first draft of your document, getting all your raw ideas down without a filter. Then, paste it into ChatGPT and ask the AI to summarize your thesis and main points to ensure your core message is clear.

Prompt:
Here is a written first draft of a newsletter I'm writing. Can you succinctly express my thesis back to me and my main supporting points?
2

Make Your Argument More Compelling

Once your core message is clear, ask the AI for suggestions on how to strengthen your argument. This step uses the AI as a sparring partner to help you add urgency, clarify benefits, and make your points more persuasive.

Prompt:
How can I make this more compelling?
3

Identify Blind Spots and Pressure-Test Your Logic

Actively ask the AI to critique your work and find holes in your reasoning. This helps you anticipate objections and address weaknesses in your argument, making the final piece more robust and well-rounded.

Prompt:
What blind spots might I have as I'm talking about this?
Pro Tip: The goal is to get the AI to help you make your argument correct, not to seek validation for what you've already written.
4

Restructure and Do the Final Polish

After strengthening the content of your argument, you can ask the AI for suggestions on restructuring the piece for better flow and clarity. Finally, take all the AI's feedback and perform the final rewrite yourself to ensure the output maintains your unique voice.
