<aside> ⚡ Some prompts to give you ideas about what to write

</aside>

1. What have you learned from a recent personal experience?

• First-hand experience earns you insights that others don't have. Reflect on this experience and share what you've learned.

Why you should use this prompt:

• No one in the world has had this exact experience — this will lead to a completely original post.

2. Explain your rationale behind a major decision.

• In line with the spirit of “building in public,” share the thought process behind what you’re doing/plan to do.

Why you should use this prompt:

• Clear writing is clear thinking. Improve your decision-making by writing about it.
• Also, people are interested in people. Give them a reason to root for you by sharing the thinking behind your decision.

3. You have an idea that’s been circling your mind recently. Can you expand on it?

• What’s an idea, a thought, or a concept that you repeatedly think about?
• Put “pen to paper” and expand on the idea with writing.

Why you should use this prompt:

• This is the vaguest prompt, but it often leads to the best writing. Why? Writing requires passion. If an idea has been circling your mind, you care deeply about it. Build upon it with writing.
