Use Templates for Repetitive Emails and Messages

If you find yourself typing similar messages more than three times — scheduling meetings, responding to common questions, declining invitations — save them as templates. It takes five minutes to set up and saves hours over time.

This isn't about being impersonal. A good template covers the structure and key phrases, and you personalize the details each time. The point is to stop rebuilding the same message from scratch every single time. It's not lazy — it's smart.
