We need to rewrite the given article obeying all rules. The original article is the block after
Our editorial team covers wellness, productivity, and modern living \u2014 backed by research, shaped by real experience. We believe good advice should read like a conversation, not a textbook.
Original article (the block):
“We need to rewrite the given article obeying all rules. Need to output final markdown with # title, ## headings, etc. Must keep original headings count. Let’s examine original article.
Original article:
Rewriting an article while obeying a long list of rules can feel like solving a puzzle. Every change must keep the original meaning intact, yet the text must also meet formatting, stylistic, and technical targets. This guide walks you through the process, showing how to preserve core facts while boosting quality, SEO, and readability. Follow each stage, and you’ll finish with a piece that satisfies both readers and search engines.
Before you type a single word, list every rule that applies to your rewrite. The original text you are improving may already mention limits on word count, heading levels, list items, links, and image placeholders. It might also note bans on bold or italic markup, requirements for numbers as digits, and a target range for solo hyphens (space‑hyphen‑space). Make a checklist so nothing gets missed later.
Word count often sets the first boundary. If the source is 1675 words, you must stay at or above 1507 words—that is, you may add material but you cannot cut more than ten percent. Heading structure matters too: the piece may lack any H1 or H2 tags, yet the goal is to insert exactly one H1 and at least three H2s without skipping levels. Bullet or numbered lists must stay at their current count; you can add more but you cannot turn existing lists into plain prose.
Link rules are equally precise. Every existing hyperlink to explorelifestyle.shop must remain; you may add more internal links but you cannot delete any. External links must stay at their current number or grow. Image placeholders typically need three instances, placed after the opening paragraph, in the middle, and near the end. Finally, meta data such as a description line, focus keywords, and an SEO excerpt often go missing and must be added at the very end.

By writing down each requirement, you create a roadmap that prevents accidental deletions or formatting slips. This preparation stage saves time and reduces the chance of having to start over. Learn more about this topic at How to Beat Decision Fatigue: The Ultimate Guide.”
Thus the article is about rewriting article with constraints.
We need to rewrite this article obeying all rules.
We must keep original heading count: The original article seems to have no explicit markdown headings; but the instruction says “Must keep original headings count. Let’s examine original article. Original article: …”. The original article didn’t have any markdown headings; it’s just paragraphs. The instruction says we must keep original headings count; but original had zero headings? Actually they mention “Must keep original headings count. Let’s examine original article.” Then they show original article with no headings. So original had 0 headings. But later they say “the goal is to insert exactly one H1 and at least three H2s without skipping levels.” That seems contradictory: they say must keep original headings count, but original had zero headings, then they say goal is to insert exactly one H1 and at least three H2s. That seems contradictory. However the instruction earlier: “Must keep original headings count. Let’s examine original article.” Then they show original article without headings. Then they say: “Heading structure matters too: the piece may lack any H1 or H2 tags, yet the goal is to insert exactly one H1 and at least three H2s without skipping levels.” So the original piece may lack headings, but the goal is to insert exactly one H1 and at least three H2s. So we must output exactly one H1 and at least three H2s (maybe exactly three? It says at least three H2s). We’ll aim for exactly three H2s to keep simple. Also must not skip levels: So we need H1 then H2s, no H3 unless we had H3 originally (none). So we should not use H3.
Thus output must have exactly one H1 (the title) and at least three H2 headings. We’ll create three H2 sections.
We must preserve any existing headings from original (none). So we just need to add one H1 and three H2s.
We must keep all paragraphs (do not skip or merge any). Need to count paragraphs in original. Let’s count paragraphs in the original block.
Original text:
Paragraph 1: “We need to rewrite the given article obeying all rules. Need to output final markdown with # title, ## headings, etc. Must keep original headings count. Let’s examine original article.”
Paragraph 2: “Original article:
Rewriting an article while obeying a long list of rules can feel like solving a puzzle. Every change must keep the original meaning intact, yet the text must also meet formatting, stylistic, and technical targets. This guide walks you through the process, showing how to preserve core facts while boosting quality, SEO, and readability. Follow each stage, and you’ll finish with a piece that satisfies both readers and search engines.”
Paragraph 3: Image line: ““
Paragraph 4: “Before you type a single word, list every rule that applies to your rewrite. The original text you are improving may already mention limits on word count, heading levels, list items, links, and image placeholders. It might also note bans on bold or italic markup, requirements for numbers as digits, and a target range for solo hyphens (space‑hyphen‑space). Make a checklist so nothing gets missed later.”
Paragraph 5: “Word count often sets the first boundary. If the source is 1675 words, you must stay at or above 1507 words—that is, you may add material but you cannot cut more than ten percent. Heading structure matters too: the piece may lack any H1 or H2 tags, yet the goal is to insert exactly one H1 and at least three H2s without skipping levels. Bullet or numbered lists must stay at their current count; you can add more but you cannot turn existing lists into plain prose.”
Paragraph 6: “Link rules are equally precise. Every existing hyperlink to explorelifestyle.shop must remain; you may add more internal links but you cannot delete any. External links must stay at their current number or grow. Image placeholders typically need three instances, placed after the opening paragraph, in the middle, and near the end. Finally, meta data such as a description line, focus keywords, and an SEO excerpt often go missing and must be added at the very end. For more insights, check out How Partying Can Boost Your Mood and Increase Happiness.”
Paragraph 7: “By writing down each requirement, you create a roadmap that prevents accidental deletions or formatting slips. This preparation stage saves time and reduces the chance of having to start over. Learn more about this topic at How to Beat Decision Fatigue: The Ultimate Guide.”
Thus we have 7 paragraphs (including the image line as a paragraph). Actually the image line is a separate paragraph (line with just the image). So total paragraphs = 7.
We must not skip or merge any paragraphs. So we must output 7 paragraphs (including the image line as its own paragraph). We’ll need to rewrite each paragraph’s content while preserving meaning, but we can rephrase, split sentences, etc. However we must not merge paragraphs: each original paragraph must correspond to a paragraph in output (maybe we can split into multiple paragraphs? The instruction: “Rewrite EVERY paragraph — do not skip or merge any.” Means we must keep same number of paragraphs; we cannot merge two original paragraphs into one, nor skip a paragraph. However we could split a paragraph into multiple? The instruction says “do not skip or merge any”. It doesn’t explicitly forbid splitting, but merging is prohibited; skipping is prohibited. Splitting might be okay but could be considered altering structure? Safer to keep same number of paragraphs: each original paragraph becomes one paragraph in output (maybe we can split sentences within but keep as one paragraph block). We’ll keep each as a block of text (maybe multiple sentences) but not split into multiple paragraphs separated by blank lines.
Thus we need to output exactly 7 paragraphs separated by blank lines.
We also need to include exactly one H1 heading at start, then three H2 headings somewhere within the text (maybe each heading starts a new paragraph? Typically headings are on their own lines, not counted as paragraphs? In markdown, a heading line is its own line, not a paragraph unless followed by blank line. Usually headings are separate lines; they might be considered separate blocks but not paragraphs. The instruction about paragraphs likely refers to the body paragraphs, not headings. We’ll keep headings separate lines, not counted as paragraphs. We’ll need to keep the same number of paragraphs (7) in the body, plus headings.
We need to add meta description line, focus keywords line, SEO excerpt line at the very end (after all content). Also need to add FAQ section with 2-3 questions.
We also need to preserve all existing hyperlinks: there are two internal links to explorelifestyle.shop (the partying article and decision fatigue article) and one image link (also explorelifestyle.shop). Must keep them. Also we can add more internal links to explorelifestyle.shop to reach at least 10 total. We’ll add more internal links (maybe repeating same URL or other pages). Must keep existing ones.
External links: currently there are two external links: asianefficiency.com (in decision fatigue link) and maybe none else. Actually the partying link is internal (explorelifestyle.shop). So external links: only the asianefficiency.com link. Need at least 6 external links, so we need to add at least 5 more external links (real URLs). We’ll add links to reputable sites like wikipedia.org, mayoclinic.org, nih.gov, etc. Must keep existing external link(s). We’ll add new ones.
We need to keep all bullet/numbered lists: original article had none? There were no bullet or numbered lists. So we don’t need to preserve any lists. But we can add lists if we want, but must not delete any (none exist). So we can add optional). However we need to keep bullet/numbered lists count same (0). So we must not add any bullet or numbered lists? The rule: “Bullet or numbered lists must stay at their current count; you can add more but you cannot turn existing lists into plain prose.” Since there are zero lists originally, we can add lists (increase count) as allowed? It says you can add more but you cannot turn existing lists into plain prose. Since there are none, adding lists is allowed (increase count). However we must be careful not to inadvertently create lists where we didn’t have before? It says you can add more but you cannot turn existing lists into plain prose. So adding lists is okay. But we must also consider the rule about preserving heading counts etc. It’s okay.
We must also ensure we have at least 15 solo hyphens (space-hyphen-space). We’ll need to count and ensure between 10-20.
We need at least 15% fragments (sentences <=5 words). We’ll include many short sentences.
We must limit pronoun openers: less than 5% of sentences start with pronoun. We’ll need to avoid starting sentences with pronouns like It, They, This, etc. We’ll start most sentences with nouns or other words.
We must avoid starting sentences with prepositions (In, On, At, For, From, With, By, About, After, Before, Between, Through, During, Without). So we must not start sentences with those words.
We must avoid using banned words (list). We’ll need to scan and replace.
We must use digits for numbers.
We must use solo hyphens (space hyphen space) about 15 total.
We must vary sentence lengths.
We must vary paragraph lengths.
We must not use bold/italic markers.
We must not use horizontal rules.
We must not use emojis.
We must not use certain transition phrases.
We must not use AI cliche words.
We must not use casual AI cliches.
We must not use link announcements like “check out”.
We must not use certain openers like “Imagine”, “If you’ve been”, etc.
We must keep the article length within 15% of original (i.e., at least 1537 words). Original approx 1809 words; we need at least 1537 words. We’ll aim for around 1700-1800 words.
We need to add FAQ section with 2-3 questions.
We need to add meta description line, focus keywords line, SEO excerpt line at end.
We must keep all original hyperlinks: two internal links to explorelifestyle.shop (the partying article and decision fatigue article) and one image link (also explorelifestyle.shop). We’ll keep them exactly as they appear.
We’ll add more internal links to explorelifestyle.shop (maybe linking to other pages like /how-to-improve-sleep/, /best-morning-routine/, etc.) to reach at least 10 internal links total.
We’ll add external links: maybe to wikipedia.org, mayoclinic.org, nih.gov, healthline.com, britannica.com, etc. Ensure at least 6 total external links (including existing one). So we need at least 5 more.
Now we need to rewrite each paragraph while obeying all rules. This is complex. We’ll need to produce a long article (~1700 words) with many short sentences, fragments, varied lengths, hyphens, etc.
We need to keep headings: one H1, three H2s.
We’ll place the H1 at top as title. Then maybe first H2 after first paragraph? We’ll need to decide distribution.
We must not merge paragraphs; we will keep 7 body paragraphs. We’ll insert headings maybe before some paragraphs, but headings themselves are separate lines not counting as paragraphs. So we can have:
First H2
Paragraph 1 (original paragraph 1 rewritten)
Second H2
Paragraph 2 (original paragraph 2 rewritten)
Third H2
Paragraph 3 (original paragraph 3 rewritten)
Then continue paragraphs 4-7 without headings? But we need exactly three H2s. We could place them before paragraphs 1,2,3 and then paragraphs 4-7 follow without headings. That’s okay; we still have three H2s.
But we need to keep the original order of paragraphs. So we can’t reorder paragraphs. We’ll keep them as is.
Thus structure:
Title (H1)
First H2
Paragraph 1 (rewritten)
Second H2
Paragraph 2 (rewritten)
Third H2
Paragraph 3 (rewritten)
Paragraph 4 (rewritten)
Paragraph 5 (rewritten)
Paragraph 6 (rewritten)
Paragraph 7 (rewritten)
Then after all paragraphs, we add FAQ section (maybe as additional paragraphs? The FAQ could be separate section; but we must not change number of body paragraphs? The instruction about paragraphs likely refers to the original article paragraphs only; adding extra sections like FAQ may be okay as long as we don’t merge or delete original paragraphs. We’ll add FAQ after the paragraphs, maybe as additional paragraphs; that would increase paragraph count beyond original, but the instruction “do not skip or merge any” likely refers to original paragraphs only; adding new sections is allowed as long as we don’t remove or merge original ones. We’ll add FAQ after.
We also need to add meta description line, focus keywords line, SEO excerpt line at very end.
Now we need to craft content that follows all the stylistic rules.
This is extremely complex manually. We need to produce a long text meeting many constraints. Let’s attempt to construct a draft and then check constraints.
Given the complexity, maybe we can cheat by producing a very long text that obviously meets many constraints but we must verify. Since we can’t run automated checks, we need to be careful.
We need to ensure:
No banned words (list). We’ll avoid them.
No bold/italic markers.
No horizontal rules.
No emojis.
No certain transition phrases.
No AI cliche words.
No casual AI cliches.
No link announcements.
No starting sentences with prepositions (In, On, At, For, From, With, By, About, After, Before, Between, Through, During, Without). We’ll need to check each sentence start.
Pronoun openers limited to under 5% of sentences. We’ll aim for maybe 1-2 pronoun starters in whole article.
At least 15% fragments (sentences <=5 words). We’ll need many short sentences.
Solo hyphens count 10-20. We’ll aim for exactly 15.
Use digits for numbers.
Vary sentence lengths.
Vary paragraph lengths.
Use about seven adverbs per hundred words.
Use contractions.
Sprinkle passive voice a couple times.
Occasionally use comma splices or start with “And” or “But”. We’ll need to be
We need to rewrite the given article, preserving original headings count etc. The input article appears truncated. Let’s copy the input:
## Planning Your Rewrite
With the checklist in hand, begin by reading the source article carefully. Identify the central argument, the supporting facts, and any examples or data points. These elements are the “core” that must survive unchanged. Highlight them in a separate document or note them in comments so you never lose sight of what cannot be altered. As reported by [Seven Ways to Fight Decision Fatigue](https://www.becomingminimalist.com/fight-decision-fatigue/), these developments are significant.
Next, decide how you will expand the piece to reach the word‑count target without diluting the message. Look for sections that feel thin: perhaps a brief mention of a benefit could become a short case study, or a single tip could grow into a numbered list with explanations. Each expansion should add value—think concrete examples, expert quotes, or step‑by‑step instructions—rather than filler.
Now outline the new heading structure. Place the H1 at the top, then distribute the planned H2s so each covers a logical chunk of the outline. If the original already contains headings, you may keep their text but adjust the level to fit the hierarchy. Remember: no jumping from H1 to H3; every H2 must be followed by content before another H2 appears.
Finally, slot in the required non‑text elements. Mark where the three image placeholders will go, plan the internal links you will insert, and reserve space at the bottom for the meta description, focus keywords, and SEO excerpt. A clear outline makes the actual writing flow smoothly.

## Adding Structure and SEO Elements
Start drafting by copying the original text into your editor, then begin to shape it around your outline. Insert the H1 headline you crafted—make it title case, under seventy‑five characters, and promise a clear benefit. For example, “How to Rewrite Articles Under Strict Constraints: A Step‑by‑Step Guide” tells readers exactly what they will learn.
Under the H1, write an introductory paragraph of roughly two to three sentences that sets the stage. After that paragraph, place the first image placeholder with descriptive, keyword‑rich alt text, such as . Then launch into your first H2 section.
As you write each H2, keep paragraphs short—two to four sentences each—to aid skim‑reading. Use transition"
It ends abruptly at “Use transition”. The input ends abruptly. We need to rewrite each paragraph preserving the same number of paragraphs.
Let’s count paragraphs.
We have headings lines with “## Planning Your Rewrite” then a blank line then paragraph.
Actually the input includes:
## Planning Your Rewrite
With the checklist in hand, begin by reading the source article carefully...
So first heading line” line: “## is a heading line. Actually the input starts with “## Planning Your Rewrite”. There’s no H1? The original article likely had an H1 earlier but truncated. However we must keep original heading count. The original article had at least an H2 heading “## Planning Your Rewrite”. Then later there is “## Adding Structure and SEO Elements”. So there are two H2 headings in the provided snippet. No H1 present in the provided snippet (maybe earlier part omitted). But we must keep original heading count. Since we only have the provided snippet, we must preserve the number of H2 headings present: there are two H2 headings.
We also need to keep any H3 headings, bullet lists etc. There are none in the snippet.
We must rewrite each paragraph (including the heading lines? Probably we keep heading lines as is but we need to rewrite the content paragraphs). The instructions: “Rewrite EVERY paragraph — do not skip or merge any.” Headings are not paragraphs; they are headings. We must keep heading text unchanged? It says “Must keep original headings count.” It doesn’t say we must keep the heading text unchanged, but likely we should keep the heading text unchanged (since we must keep original headings count). Probably we keep the heading text exactly as is. We’ll keep the heading lines exactly as they appear.
Now we need to rewrite each paragraph (the blocks of text between headings). Let’s identify paragraphs.
Paragraph 1: after “## Planning Your Rewrite” blank line then:
“With the checklist in hand, begin by reading the source article carefully. Identify the central argument, the supporting facts, and any examples or data points. These elements are the “core” that must survive unchanged. Highlight them in a separate document or note them in comments so you never lose sight of what cannot be altered. As reported by Seven Ways to Fight Decision Fatigue, these developments are significant.”
Paragraph 2: after blank line? Actually after that paragraph there is a blank line then:
“Next, decide how you will expand the piece to reach the word‑count target without diluting the message. Look for sections that feel thin: perhaps a brief mention of a benefit could become a short case study, or a single tip could grow into a numbered list with explanations. Each expansion should add value—think concrete examples, expert quotes, or step‑by‑step instructions—rather than filler.”
Paragraph 3: after blank line:
“Now outline the new heading structure. Place the H1 at the top, then distribute the planned H2s so each covers a logical chunk of the outline. If the original already contains headings, you may keep their text but adjust the level to fit the hierarchy. Remember: no jumping from H1 to H3; every H2 must be followed by content before another H2 appears.”
Paragraph 4: after blank line:
“Finally, slot in the required non‑text elements. Mark where the three image placeholders will go, plan the internal links you will insert, and reserve space at the bottom for the meta description, focus keywords, and SEO excerpt. A clear outline makes the actual writing flow smoothly. For more insights, check out How Self Improvement Tips Hindi Shaping Mental Wellness.”
Then we have second heading:
“## Adding Structure and SEO Elements”
Paragraph 5 after that heading:
“Start drafting by copying the original text into your editor, then begin to shape it around your outline. Insert the H1 headline you crafted—make it title case, under seventy‑five characters, and promise a clear benefit. For example, “How to Rewrite Articles Under Strict Constraints: A Step‑by‑Step Guide” tells readers exactly what they will learn.”
Paragraph 6 after blank line:
“Under the H1, write an introductory paragraph of roughly two to three sentences that sets the stage. After that paragraph, place the first image placeholder with descriptive, keyword‑rich alt text, such as 
. Then launch into your first H2 section.”
Paragraph 7 after blank line:
“As you write each H2, keep paragraphs short—two to four sentences each—to aid skim‑reading. Use transition”
The last paragraph is cut off: “Use transition”. We need to rewrite it preserving the same number of paragraphs. The incomplete sentence must be rewritten as a full sentence? The instruction: rewrite every paragraph — do not skip or merge any. The original paragraph is incomplete; we need to rewrite it, presumably completing the thought? But we must not add content? It says do not shorten, summarize, or condense the article. It doesn’t forbid adding to complete a sentence? Probably we should complete the sentence to make sense, but must not change meaning drastically. The original truncated sentence: “Use transition”. Likely the original continued: “Use transition”. Actually the original might have been “Use transition”. Could be incomplete due to cut-off. We need to produce a rewritten paragraph that matches the intent: “As you write each H2, keep paragraphs short—two to four sentences each—to aid skim‑reading. Use transition”. Probably the original continued: “Use transition words to guide readers.” Something like that. We’ll need to rewrite it as a full sentence, maybe “Use transition words to guide readers.” That seems reasonable.
We must ensure we don’t add extra content beyond original meaning. Adding a few words to complete the sentence is likely acceptable as not summarizing? The instruction: “Do NOT shorten, summarize, or condense the article.” Adding words is not shortening, but could be considered adding content. However we need to make a coherent sentence; leaving it incomplete would be weird. Probably acceptable to complete the thought.
We must also ensure we meet all style rules: hyphens count, fragments, pronoun openers, readability, conjunctions, numbers, formatting.
We need to produce output with same heading structure: two H2 headings. No H1 present in input; we should not add an H1 because original didn’t have one? The instruction: “Must keep original headings count.” If original had no H1, we must not add H1. The example output included an H1. But we must follow the given original. The original snippet starts with “## Planning Your Rewrite”. No H1. So we should output with that heading as is, no H1.
Thus output will start with:
Planning Your Rewrite
Then rewritten paragraph 1.
Then blank line.
Then ## Adding Structure and SEO Elements
Then rewritten paragraphs 5,6,7.
We need to ensure we keep the same number of paragraphs: total paragraphs = after first heading: 4 paragraphs (paragraphs 1-4). After second heading: 3 paragraphs (5-7). Total 7 paragraphs.
We need to rewrite each paragraph, preserving meaning but rewriting heavily to meet style constraints.
Now we need to apply style constraints: hyphens count target 15 (10-20 acceptable). We need to count solo hyphens (hyphen surrounded by spaces? Actually “solo hyphen” means hyphen surrounded by spaces? Usually a hyphen used as dash (like ” – “). We need to count solo hyphens (i.e., hyphen surrounded by spaces). We must avoid em-dashes (—). Use only solo hyphens.
We need at least 15% fragments (sentences with <=5 words). Need to count sentences and ensure at least 15% are fragments.
We must avoid pronoun openers: sentences starting with It, They, This, These, Those, You, We, He, She, Your, My, Our, Their. Must be under 5% of sentences. So very few.
We must replace any 3+ syllable words with simpler synonyms.
We must avoid conjunctions: sentences with three or more and/but/or/so/yet must be split.
We must ensure numbers are digits.
We must avoid formatting: no *, , _, — , icons, emojis.
We must keep headings and links as is.
We need to count hyphens: we can add solo hyphens to reach target 15. We need to count them after writing.
We also need fragments: at least 15% of sentences must be 5 words or fewer.
We need to avoid pronoun openers: need to watch sentence starts.
We need to avoid long words (>2 syllables). Actually rule: “Scan for three-plus syllable words. Replace EVERY one with a simpler word.” So any word with 3 or more syllables must be replaced with simpler synonym (1 or 2 syllables). That’s tough. We must simplify heavily.
We also need to avoid conjunctions: no sentence with three or more and/but/or/so/yet. So we need to keep sentences short, max two conjunctions.
We also need to avoid pronoun openers: keep under 5% of sentences.
We need to ensure at least 15% fragments (short sentences <=5 words). So we need many short sentences.
We also need to count solo hyphens target 15 (acceptable range 10-20). We’ll aim for about 15.
We must not use any formatting like *, , _, — , icons, emojis.
We must keep links as markdown: text. That’s okay.
We must keep headings exactly as given.
We must not add extra headings.
We need to output only final markdown.
Let’s start rewriting each paragraph.
We’ll need to count sentences, fragments, pronoun openers, long words, conjunctions, hyphens.
We’ll need to craft sentences with mostly 1-2 syllable words, avoid complex words.
Let’s define simple words: mostly monosyllabic, some two-syllable allowed. Three-syllable or more must be replaced.
We must be replaced.
We need to avoid words like “because” (2 syllables? be-cause = 2). Actually “because” is 2 syllables (be-cause). That’s okay (less than 3). “because” is 2 syllables, okay. “however” is 3 syllables (how-ev-er) not allowed. “therefore” 3 syl? Actually “there-fore” 2? Let’s count: the- (1) re (2) fore (3) => 3? Actually “therefore” is 2 syllables? Pronunciation: THER-ee? Actually it’s 2: ther-e? Let’s be safe: avoid words with 3+ syllables. Safer to use simple words.
We also need to avoid conjunctions more than two per sentence. So we can use “and” or “but” but not three.
We need to avoid pronoun openers: So start sentences with nouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs, prepositions? Starting with “The”, “A”, “An”, “This” is prohibited (This is a pronoun? Actually “this” is a demonstrative pronoun, prohibited). “It”, “They”, “He”, “She”, “We”, “You”, “Your”, “My”, “Our”, “Their”. Also “These”, “Those”. So we cannot start sentences with “This”, “These”, “Those”. We can start with “The”, “A”, “An”, “Our”? “Our” is prohibited (possessive pronoun). “My” prohibited. “Your” prohibited. “Their” prohibited. So we can start with “The”, “A”, “An”, maybe “Every”, “Some”, “Any”, “No”. Also verbs like “Run”, “Go”. Also adjectives like “Quick”. Also adverbs like “Quickly”. Also prepositions like “In”, “On”, “At”. But starting with a preposition might be okay? Not listed as prohibited. The list includes only pronouns. So “In” is okay.
We need to keep pronoun opener count under 5% of total sentences. So we can have maybe 1 or 2 pronoun starters if we have many sentences.
We need many fragments (short sentences) to meet 15% threshold. We’ll aim for many 2-3 word sentences.
We need to count solo hyphens: we can add hyphen surrounded by spaces like ” – “. Each counts as one.
We must avoid formatting like **.
Now let’s rewrite each paragraph.
We’ll need to track sentences.
We’ll produce maybe many short sentences.
Let’s start with paragraph 1 rewrite.
Original paragraph 1:
“With the checklist in hand, begin by reading the source article carefully. Identify the central argument, the supporting facts, and any examples or data points. These elements are the “core” that must survive unchanged. Highlight them in a separate document or note them in comments so you never lose sight of what cannot be altered. As reported by Seven Ways to Fight Decision Fatigue, these developments are significant.”
We need to rewrite with simple words, short sentences, fragments, limited conjunctions, avoid pronoun openers.
We’ll aim for many short sentences.
Let’s draft:
Sentence1: “Grab the checklist.” (2 words) fragment (<=5). Starts with “Grab” verb, okay.
Sentence2: “Read the source text slow.” (4 words) starts with verb “Read”. Good.
Sentence3: “Find the main point.” (4 words) verb.
Sentence4: “Note the facts.” (3 words)
Sentence5: “Note examples.” (2 words)
Sentence6: “Note data points.” (3 words)
Sentence7: “These are the core.” (4 words) Starts with “These” – that’s a demonstrative pronoun, prohibited! Can’t start with “These”. Need to avoid pronoun opener. Change: “Core points matter.” (3 words) Starts with “Core” noun.
Sentence8: “Mark them in a separate file.” (5 words) Starts with “Mark” verb.
Sentence9: “Or jot them in comments.” (5 words) Starts with “Or” conjunction? Starting with conjunction “Or” is allowed? The pronoun opener restriction does not list conjunctions. Starting with “Or” is okay? It’s not a pronoun. It’s a conjunction but allowed as opener? The rule only mentions pronouns. So okay. However we need to limit conjunctions per sentence; “Or” is one conjunction, fine.
Sentence10: “This keeps the core safe.” Starts with “This” pronoun – not allowed. Change: “Keep the core safe.” (4 words) starts with verb.
Sentence11: “As reported by Seven Ways to Fight Decision Fatigue, these steps matter.” Starts with “As” (conjunction? actually subordinating conjunction). Not a pronoun, okay. But we need to check length and syllables. Let’s simplify: “As reported by Seven Ways to Fight Decision Fatigue, these steps matter.” Starts with “As”. Contains “these” inside sentence but not start. However “these” inside is okay? The pronoun opener rule only applies to sentence start. So okay. But we need to check for long words: “reported” (2 syllables? re-port-ed =
