If typing stalls you, use voice mode in the ChatGPT app and have it interview you about your topic. Then ask it to organize what you said into an outline using your own words.
Drafting
Getting from blank page to first draft.
Import a voice memo into Descript to get a transcript, clean up the filler words, then paste the transcript into an AI chat and ask it to shape it into a draft that keeps your phrasing.
Before drafting, give AI your target query and ask what someone searching it is trying to do, what they'd expect to see answered, and in what order. Then outline from your own experience, not from what's already ranking.
Negative instructions give the model nothing to aim at. Describe the target instead: sentence length, how paragraphs end, names instead of 'a client'.
