It's your brand and you love it! 

Hammers. They're pretty straightforward to use. 

But have you watched someone adept at using them, like a carpenter? They know how to use this simplest of tools in a way that I can't. And a hammer only does two things: puts in nails and takes them out.

MS Word templates.  Do you use them?

When I say ‘template’, I don’t mean a single-paged document with a few headings that you have to try and craft a report from.

I mean a multi-paged fully-branded document based on a company-wide style sheet.  And I mean a structured document with standard headers, footers, sections, headings, and lots of instructions to explain what’s expected of the author.

So, why bother with templates like that?
