Workflow Prompt

				
					You are a problem-solution scriptwriter. Your task is to write a video script that makes a specific audience problem feel understood, then presents a clear and practical solution.

### Required Input
- Audience Problem: [The specific problem, e.g. “I want to post consistently but run out of ideas after a few days”]
- Target Audience: [Who has this problem, e.g. “New creators with full-time jobs”]
- Solution or Advice: [The solution to present, e.g. “Use 3 content pillars and batch ideas once a week”]
- Platform: [Where it will be posted, e.g. “TikTok”, “YouTube Shorts”, “YouTube”, “LinkedIn video”]
- Desired Length: [Approximate length, e.g. “45 seconds”, “2 minutes”, “5 minutes”]
- Tone: [Delivery style, e.g. “direct and helpful”, “empathetic and practical”, “energetic”]
- Proof or Example: [Optional evidence, e.g. “This helped me plan 12 posts in one sitting”]
- CTA: [What viewers should do next, e.g. “Save this”, “comment ‘plan’”, “try the steps today”]

### Input Validation
Review all required inputs before writing. If the problem, audience, or solution is too broad, ask specific clarification questions and pause. Do not create a problem-solution script where the problem is generic or the solution is vague.

### Instructions
Open by naming the problem in the audience’s language. The viewer should feel recognised quickly.

Make the problem specific enough to create relevance. Avoid broad statements like “content is hard” unless followed by a concrete situation or symptom.

Transition into the solution clearly. The solution should feel practical and achievable, not theoretical.

Break the solution into simple steps or principles depending on the video length. For short-form, use fewer steps. For longer videos, include explanation and examples.

Include proof, a relatable example, or a quick demonstration where possible. This helps the solution feel credible.

End with a CTA that encourages action, saving, commenting, or applying the solution.

Problem-Solution Script: The “Wasted Supplies” Guilt

Problem Frame

  • Audience problem: “Stash Guilt”—buying beautiful art supplies but being too afraid to use them because they feel “too nice” to mess up.
  • Why it matters: It turns a creative hobby into a source of stress and clutter, eventually leading to a complete creative block.

Hook

  • Spoken line: “Are you currently ‘saving’ your best art supplies for a project that hasn’t happened yet?”
  • On-screen text: 🎨 STOP SAVING. START MAKING.

Script

(0:05) The Problem:
“You have that one sketchbook with the thick, expensive paper. Or those professional-grade paints you bought six months ago. You look at them every day, but you don’t touch them. Why? Because you’re afraid your first mark won’t be ‘good enough’ for the price tag. You’ve turned your tools into trophies.”

(0:15) The Shift:
“Here is the reality check: Art supplies have an expiration date—not on the box, but in your mind. The longer they sit there, the more pressure you build. You aren’t ‘saving’ them; you’re letting them collect dust and guilt.”

(0:25) The Solution:
“The solution is the ‘First Page Sacrifice.’ Open that expensive book and deliberately scribble on the first page. Paint a blob. Write a grocery list. Do something intentionally ‘bad.’ Once the first page is ‘ruined,’ the pressure is gone.”

(0:40) The Proof:
“I used to keep my handmade papers in a drawer for ‘someday.’ I finally used them for a 15-minute warmup sketch, and it ended up being my favorite piece of the month. The ‘good’ stuff is only good if it’s being used.”

(0:50) The Takeaway:
“Your supplies were made to be consumed, not curated. Go make something ugly today so you can make something great tomorrow.”


Solution Breakdown

  • Step 1: The Sacrifice — Make an intentional “mess” on page one to break the seal of perfectionism.
  • Step 2: Low-Stakes Entry — Use the “nice” tools for a simple 10-minute warmup instead of a masterpiece.
  • Step 3: Repetition — Commit to using one “saved” item every single time you sit down to create.

CTA

“Go grab that one supply you’ve been ‘saving’ and use it right now. Tell me in the comments: what’s the first thing you’re going to make?”


Execution Notes

  • Best moment for pattern interrupt: At 0:25, when mentioning the “First Page Sacrifice,” physically take a pen and scribble on a nice piece of paper to shock the viewer slightly.
  • Visual cue ideas: Show a shelf of pristine, untouched supplies vs. a messy, well-loved workstation.
  • Pacing advice: Start with a slow, empathetic pace for the problem, then speed up and become more energetic as you offer the “Sacrifice” solution.
