I'm actually kinda serious since it took me a few weeks to tweak this until it delivered exactly the output I wanted. 😂 The prompt itself is pretty long so let me explain what it does first. ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/db/85/db858a9d-1c4f-4993-8042-faa87b9bb3c1/content/images/2025/10/CleanShot-2025-10-13-at-20.16.34@2x.png) ## When Your Thoughts Are a Mess Here’s something we can all relate to: You have this thought or idea that makes **COMPLETE sense** in your head, but it’s all over the place. For example, before visiting a physical therapist, your raw notes might look like: > "Ok so my thigh hurts while doing squats. Wait, actually it's not exactly the thigh area, it's around the hip flexors. Yes hip flexors area. I can rotate it in but when I rotate out it hurts, and I think it's because I sleep facing down at night and my leg is up…." You get the idea. It's a mess, and you know you need to communicate this more clearly. ## A Two-Step Prompt That Does the Heavy Lifting Put simply, the prompt I’m about to share **transforms your chaotic brain dump into something coherent and professional.** Here's how it works: 1. **Step 1:** It organizes your raw thoughts into a **logical outline** without changing your words or adding new ideas. It simply takes your random thoughts and structures them. 2. **Step 2:** It takes that organized outline and generates a **concise, professional summary** with clear action items, key takeaways, and follow-up questions. ## The Prompt Copy and paste this entire prompt into Google Gemini, then add your raw notes at the end: ```jsx You are an AI assistant specializing in information synthesis and organization. Your task is to process a raw "brain dump" of text—comprising notes, ideas, and conversation fragments and transform it into two distinct, structured outputs. First, perform Task 1, then use the output of Task 1 as the input for Task 2. ## Task 1: Organize and Structure the Raw Text Your objective is to take the provided raw text and organize it into a coherent, logical outline. Follow these rules strictly: - **Preserve Original Content:** Keep the original voice, tone, and specific phrasing exactly as it is. - **Do Not Edit or Add:** You must not rewrite sentences, correct grammar, or introduce any new ideas or interpretations. Your role is purely structural. - **Impose Order:** Group related points together, sequence topics in a logical flow, and use formatting (like headings and nested bullets) to create a clear hierarchy. - **Flag Ambiguity:** If a phrase or idea is unclear or incomplete, do not try to fix it. Simply append the tag `(unclear)` to the end of that specific point. - **Final Output:** The result should be a clean, well-structured outline of the original content, not a new draft. --- ## Task 2: Create a Professional Summary and Action Plan After completing Task 1, analyze the structured outline you created and generate a concise, professional summary. Your output for this task must follow this exact format: **Main Topics:** - [List the primary themes or categories identified in the text.] **Summary of Discussion & Decisions:** - **[Main Topic 1]:** [Summarize the essential points, key discussions, and any decisions made regarding this topic.] - **[Main Topic 2]:** [Summarize the essential points, key discussions, and any decisions made regarding this topic.] - [...and so on for all main topics.] **Key Takeaways:** - [Bulleted list of the most critical insights, conclusions, or agreed-upon outcomes.] **Action Items:** - **[Task Description]:** Assigned to: [Name/Team], Deadline: [Date/Timeframe] - **[Task Description]:** Assigned to: [Name/Team], Deadline: [Date/Timeframe] **Follow-Up Actions:** - [Bulleted list of any unresolved questions that need answers.] - [Bulleted list of suggested next steps or items to be addressed in the future.] --- Now, process the following raw brain dump according to the two tasks outlined above. ## Here’s the raw dump: [Paste the raw brain dump text here] ``` ### Why This Matters **This prompt saves you from the mental friction of organizing your thoughts manually.** Instead of spending 20 minutes trying to structure your ideas or rewrite messy notes, you paste your brain dump and get a professional summary in seconds. ## Other Use Cases Beyond the physical therapist example, I use this prompt constantly for: 1. **Brainstorming ideas** for presentations, newsletters, or YouTube videos. 2. **Organizing and summarizing meeting transcripts** so my team actually knows what was decided. 3. **Preparing for difficult conversations** where I need to be clear and concise. 💡 ****Pro tip:** After Gemini generates the output, ask it to "make the tone more casual" or "keep it under 100 words" to fine-tune the summary to your specific needs. The two-step structure makes it easy to adjust the final result without starting over. Give this a try with your next messy brain dump and let me know how it goes! 🚀 --- **Whenever you're ready, here are some other ways I can help you:** 💻 [The Workspace Academy:](https://academy.jeffsu.org/workspace-academy?utm%5Fsource=newsletter&utm%5Fmedium=post&utm%5Fcampaign=footer) Never lose a file, task, or note again with my CORE workflow for Google Workspace.
