Today’s show teaches listeners about how to leverage the power of templates to improve productivity, accuracy, and overall efficiency.
Hosts Daphne and Fred share their analysis of the article "Technical Writers: Use Templates for Efficiency" from the Curt Robbins & Associates Technical Writing Agency that was published on September 2, 2024.
An excerpt from the article: "I love templates. Just like Oscar the Grouch longs for garbage, I have an ongoing love affair with templates and the act of templatization (don't go looking for it in Merriam-Webster; I coined it). If you don't dream about templates, you should. Because they can improve your IT or technical writing career.
"For those not familiar with templates, they are basic draft documents used to create an individual instance and final version of a document for a particular audience, function, or purpose. They not only result in markedly faster document development, but also help ensure parallel structure and adherence to style guides and company standards."
