Turn the Week's Notes Into a Weekly Newsletter

This prompt turns a pile of raw weekly notes into a finished 500–800 word personal newsletter with a defined shape: a sharp opener, one personal anecdote, three to five curated items with one-line takes, and a closing question to readers. The 'no corporate-speak, write like one human emailing another' rule is what keeps it sounding like you instead of a brand. Use it when you collect interesting links and thoughts during the week but dread assembling them into something readable by send day.

What you can expect back

Subject: The onboarding fix that took me four months too long

I finally shipped the onboarding rewrite this week. It took an afternoon to code and four months to stop avoiding. If you've been staring at your own version of that task, this one's for you.

Quick story: I pulled our funnel data and found 70% of trials never finish onboarding. Seventy percent. I'd been obsessing over acquisition while the real leak was right after the front door.

Three things worth your time this week:
- Pricing psychology and anchoring — a sharp read on why your highest tier sells the middle one. Worth it if you only offer one plan.
- A founder-burnout podcast I can't stop thinking about — the line 'rest is a feature, not a reward' rearranged my week.
- A reader asked how I handle churn — short answer: I read every cancellation reason myself. It's the cheapest research you'll ever do.

One question back to you: what's the task you've been avoiding that would take an afternoon? Hit reply — I read every one.

Until next week,
[Your name]

Get sharper results

• 01Dump everything into the notes field, even half-formed — the model is better at cutting and ordering than at inventing, so give it raw material rather than a clean summary.
• 02Define your [VOICE] with two or three concrete adjectives plus a sample sentence you'd actually write; 'professional' produces bland copy, 'wry and self-deprecating' produces you.
• 03Keep the curated takes to a single line each — the discipline is what makes a roundup skimmable and is the format's whole appeal.
• 04Ask it to draft three subject lines separately, since the subject decides your open rate far more than the body does.
• 05Tell it to leave your links as [link] placeholders so you can paste the real URLs in without it guessing or fabricating them.
