Where it helps a working day.
THE HIGHEST-VALUE USES
Drafting anything you must write Summarising what you must read Turning vague intentions into concrete steps Preparing for conversations
WHAT IT DOES NOT FIX
Too much to do Unclear priorities Interruption
Those are not writing problems.
THE DRAFTING GAIN
The blank page is where most time is lost. A draft to react to removes it.
THE READING GAIN
Summarising a long document to decide whether to read it properly.
Genuinely valuable, and do read anything you will act on.
TURNING INTENTIONS INTO ACTIONS
"Here is what I need to achieve. Break it into specific next actions."
Vague intentions do not get done. Specific next actions do.
WHAT TO BE CAREFUL WITH
Time spent prompting for something you could write in five minutes.
WHAT NOT TO DO
Use it as procrastination. Elaborate prompting about a task is not doing the task.
THE REALISTIC GAIN
Hours a week, for someone whose work involves substantial writing.
