5 Ways to Use Templates to Save Hours in Your Business

Productivity
Written By Deanna Burks

Running a business (or side hustle) takes time, and some weeks it feels like there's never enough of it. That’s where templates come in. They’re designed to give you a head start—whether you’re writing emails, launching a product, onboarding a client or creating a content plan.

Here are 5 ways you can use templates to save time:

  1. Client onboarding: Use welcome guides, email scripts and project timelines to create a seamless start

  2. Marketing: Plug your message into Canva graphics or social media captions and hit publish

  3. Selling: Use pre-written product descriptions, sales pages or launch checklists

  4. Systems: Use Notion dashboards or workflows to organise your ideas and to-dos

  5. Feedback & communication: Swipe templates that help you set boundaries, get clearer feedback or offboard clients smoothly

The takeaway? Don’t build it all from scratch. Let templates do the heavy lifting so you can stay in your zone of genius.
