Be honest, how easy is it for you to sit in front of your computer and churn out a good, cohesive stream for your content?

As a writer, I have five of the easiest tips you can possibly implement to help break you away from using AI, that will coax away the writer's block, and return to relying on your own, capable brain power.

Without further ado...

5 Easy Tips to Help Break From AI

1) Download the Dictionary app onto your desktop, and use its Thesaurus feature.

Whenever you are stuck on a word, simply type it in to receive great alternatives in a flash. If you don't want to bother with downloading an app, try an even simpler method -- just type the word 'thesaurus' followed by whatever word you're stuck on into Google, and choose immediately from the suggestions.

2) Get a Word of the Day widget/ app/ calendar/ journal.

Read your one word and its description every day, and your brain automatically expands its vocabulary with extremely minimal time and effort. You're also potentially learning up to 365 new words, if every single one is brand new to you.

3) Carry a notebook for thoughts plus a pen - USE IT. WRITE YOUR INSPIRATION OR KEY THOUGHTS DOWN.

The reason why that's in capitals and severely emphasised? Thoughts aren't just important, they can be potential content, meaning potential communication or engagement, which equals potential sales.

By letting those thoughts slide in your spare time (don't you beg the universe for inspiration when you're sitting at your computer??), you are losing the ease of creating new blog posts, or tweets, or making converting content opportunities (ultimately meaning, you're losing sales).

4) Always save your draft posts for later, never delete anything.

Repurposing content is one of the easiest things you can do if you're stuck for inspiration, and finding new avenues to explain or explore something is not lazy. Don't delete content you're tired with, or think wasn't good enough, or that nobody will find it interesting - if anything, you're only needing to use your brain power to think of alternatives, rather than just working with the seed you already started to sow.

5) Re-read over your past work every now and again.

Often you forget the direction you were leading in your content, and with time, you can re-read and absorb it with brand new eyes. Notice your own natural thoughts or questions that you want answering, that maybe you thought you’d covered already -- readers may also be thinking it too. Note any of this feedback down, it becomes new content and inspiration.

Your own work can open up so many new thought patterns/ mind worms, or new content doors again!

There you have it, now you don't need to ask AI to regurgitate some compelling content or even some ideas for you -- you've utilised some easy steps to pave the groundwork yourself.

Keep carving your authentic pathway,
