Templates save time only when they separate fixed elements from decisions that still
require thought.

Separate the structural parts that create consistency from the content that must
respond to context. Highlight placeholders, provide decision notes and remove old
examples, so speed does not come from copying assumptions that no longer fit.

**Try this today:** Mark what should remain unchanged and what must be customized.

**Keep in mind:** A good template preserves judgment where judgment matters.
