β Drill of the Week β Make Any Message Clearer in 30 Seconds
You wrote something. It's fine. It just doesn't quite land. Here's the fix: one prompt, two versions, under a minute. **The skill** Give the AI your message. Ask for two rewrites β one that cuts everything vague, one that makes it sound like a person wrote it. Pick the version that fits, or mix lines from both. **Do it** 1. Open ChatGPT (chat.openai.com β OpenAI's free AI assistant), Claude (claude.ai β Anthropic's free AI), or Gemini (gemini.google.com β Google's free AI). Any of the three works. 2. Paste this prompt and swap in your own message at the bottom: ``` I'm going to give you a message I wrote. Rewrite it two ways β keep the meaning identical each time: 1. Clearer β cut anything vague or redundant; every word earns its place. 2. Warmer β keep it professional, but make it sound like a person wrote it. Label each version. Don't explain your choices. Here's my message: [paste your text here] ``` 3. Read both. Pick the one that fits your situation β or take the clarity from version 1 and the tone from version 2. **The win** Two sharper options in seconds. You'll never stare at a draft wondering "is this too long?" or "does this sound cold?" again. A *prompt* is what you type to the AI β think of it as a clear instruction. The more specific you are, the better the result. You just ran your first editing prompt. Run it on something real β an email you've been putting off, a Slack message that felt off, an update you have to send today. Then drop your original and whichever version you used in this week's **Drill Thread**. π This is 1 of 3 drills Pro got this week. The other two: *Match the Tone You're Stuck On* (Wed in Pro) and *Cut a Long Doc to One Paragraph* (Fri in Pro).
