✍️ Write Faster with AI: The 3-Step Workflow That Feels Like Cheating (But Isn’t)

This tutorial is written for creators, marketers, entrepreneurs, and writers who want to produce more quality writing in less time, without burnout. It’s casual, clear, and complete.

🧠 What’s the goal?

To help you go from “ugh, blank page” to “wow, that was fast!” by building your own AI-powered writing workflow using:

  • ChatGPT (or Claude)

  • Notion (or Google Docs)

  • Optional: Grammarly + Make.com or Zapier for automation

You’ll learn to plan, write, and polish faster than ever.

🔧 What You’ll Need

  1. A ChatGPT (or Claude) account

  2. A writing tool — Notion, Google Docs, or anything that works for you

  3. Optional: Grammarly + Make.com for extra automation

  4. About 30–45 minutes to set it up once and use forever 🚀

🛠 Step 1: Use AI to Break the Blank Page

“AI is the ultimate writing coach, but only if you ask the right questions.”

Let’s start with the prompt that saves the most time: content scaffolding.

✨ Prompt 1: Idea-to-Outline

Copy + paste this into ChatGPT:

CopyEdit

Act as a professional content strategist. I want to write a [blog post/newsletter/LinkedIn post] about [TOPIC]. Give me a 4-part outline, each section with a 1–2 sentence summary. Use an engaging, clear tone.

🧠 You now have a working outline — the biggest blocker is gone.

✍️ Step 2: Co-Write Your Draft

💬 Prompt 2: Section-by-Section Writing

Copy the first section of your outline and feed it back in:

CopyEdit

Great! Let’s start writing. Based on the outline you gave me, expand just the **first section** into 150–200 words. Make it casual, friendly, and useful — like you're explaining to a smart friend.

Then move to the next section using the same process. You’re co-writing now.

🛠 Tool tip: If you’re using Notion or Google Docs, paste each section into its own header for easy formatting.

✨ Step 3: Polish With AI (and Maybe Grammarly)

Here’s where we speed up editing without losing your voice.

💬 Prompt 3: Rewrite + Smooth

Once your draft is complete, paste it into ChatGPT with:

CopyEdit

Rewrite this to improve flow and clarity, but keep my tone casual and personal. Avoid sounding robotic or formal.

Want to take it even further?

  • Use Grammarly to tighten structure and readability

  • Paste the final version into Hemingway.app to remove clutter

✅ Result: A clean, human-sounding piece that’s ready to post.

🔁 Optional: Automate It with Make.com

Want to make this faster every time?
Set up a Make.com automation like:

  1. New entry in Notion → send it to ChatGPT for outline generation

  2. Result gets written back to Notion or emailed to you

  3. You expand section-by-section in your writing tool

Bonus Prompt for Make.com ChatGPT Step:

CopyEdit

You’ve just built a system that:

  • Kills blank page anxiety

  • Writes cleaner, faster, and more consistently
