Starter boards

Templates that are just notes.

A template here is not a locked layout. It is a set of ordinary sticky notes and ink lines, placed for you, with prompts that are meant to be overwritten. Load one, then move, recolor, rewrite and delete until it is yours.

Add beside is the safe choice. The template lands to the right of your existing notes and nothing is touched.
Replace clears the board first, but keeps one copy as the previous board so you can restore it.
Loading happens here, in your browser. Then open the board to see it.

For teams, after a stretch of work

Team retro

Four columns, one for each question a retrospective should answer: what went well, what could be better, what to try, and what you will actually do. Each column opens with two prompts, and a note across the top reminds everyone of the three steps.

One facilitation note and four column headers
Eight prompt notes, two per column
Ink underlines and dividers to keep columns tidy

Run it: give everyone five quiet minutes to write one idea per note, then drag similar notes together before you talk. Use the pen to circle the cluster that deserves an action.

For one person, once a week

Weekly plan

Start with three priorities, ranked by how much they matter rather than how loudly they shout. Below them sits a column for each weekday, every one with a focus block for deep work and a note for appointments and deadlines, plus a weekend column for rest and preparation.

Three priority notes and a carry-over note
Monday to Friday columns, plus a weekend column
A focus note and an appointments note for each day

Run it: fill in the priorities first, then place only what truly fits in each day. If a day looks full, move a note to the carry-over pile instead of squeezing it in.

For groups, when you are stuck

Brainstorm

A single question sits in the middle, joined by ink lines to six prompts that push you past the first idea: the wildest version, the cheapest test, a beginner's attempt, the opposite, a combination, and who benefits. Two notes underneath handle dot-voting and the next step.

A central question note and six prompt notes in a ring
Six ink connectors drawn between them
A dot-voting note and a next-step note

Run it: rewrite the middle note as a "how might we" question, answer the prompts quickly, then vote with the pen by drawing a dot on your three favorites.

Assumptions and edge cases

Templates use your saved board. Loading here writes to the same browser storage the board page reads. If your browser blocks storage, the page tells you instead of pretending it worked.
Adding twice adds twice. Each load makes fresh copies, placed after everything already on the board. If you load one by mistake, select its notes on the board and press Delete, or choose Replace next time and restore the previous board.
Size limits apply. A board holds up to 1,500 notes and 3,000 strokes. A template adds well under a hundred items.
Your own templates. Build a layout you like, export it from the board, and import it whenever you need it again. An exported file is the same format the templates use.
It is a starting point. The prompts are suggestions, not rules. Delete the ones you do not need.
