What is a template?
A template is a decision you make once. Meeting notes, a project kickoff, a weekly review: the structure is the same each time, and only the content changes.
What matters here
- A reusable starting point
- Fewer decisions at the start
- Consistent output across a team
- Still editable, never locked
- Worth making only after the third repeat
When a template pays off
After you have done the same task a few times and noticed which sections you always add. Building one before that produces fields nobody fills in.
Templates and checklists
A template is structure for content. A checklist is a set of steps to complete. Some workflows need both: a page with sections, and a list of things to verify before publishing.
The maintenance risk
Templates drift out of date quietly. A short review once a quarter, or a note on the template saying when it was last checked, keeps them honest.
