You Don’t Need to Start from Scratch
Blank page or rough idea? Stop thinkingHere’s the 3-step hack to never start from scratch again:
1. Find 2–3 past things you like
Old blog posts, emails, notes. This is your voice DNA.
2. Tell the AI to match it
Paste your examples. Then ask:
“Here’s how I write. Use this style to draft a new post about X.”
3. Work in layers
Don’t expect a perfect first draft.
Ask for:
– Outline
– Draft
– Redlines
– Final passThis isn’t cheating. It’s collaborating with your second brain.
“Next time the blank page stares back—stare it down with a prompt.”
