Put the ask first
Four paragraphs of context and the request hiding at the bottom.
Rewrite this so the ask is in the first sentence and the deadline is in the second. Everything else comes after.
Making it yours
- Paste your own material where the prompt asks for it. Everything above that line is instruction, not content.
- Delete any rule that does not apply to you. A shorter prompt that fits beats a thorough one that does not.
- If the answer comes back vague, add a line saying what you do not want. Constraints work better than encouragement.
Drafts and replies. Turning notes, long drafts and tangled threads into something short enough to read.
