3 Workspace Templates that TRIPLED My Productivity
About this video
Jeff Su says three Google Workspace setups he uses daily have saved him hundreds if not thousands of hours over more than 10 years using Google tools. First, a Google Docs notes template refined over 8 years: page one has a one-sentence summary, a key materials section with relevant links, and a dynamic outstanding questions section that is cleared when resolved; notes start on page two with heading/date formatting, bold topics, and action items he underlines during meetings to spot afterwards. Second, a Google Sheets meeting template built for collaboration, with date, notetaker, agenda items, owners, durations, pre-read links, notes and action items, plus a mapping tab that feeds people dropdowns, so speakers fill in their sections ahead and past meetings are visible by scrolling. Third, bookmarked browser folders that filter Google Docs, Sheets and Slides for open comments assigned to him, so unresolved comments do not get lost.
Key takeaways
- Creator’s Docs notes template puts a one-sentence summary, key materials links, and dynamic outstanding questions on page one, with dated notes from page two.
- Underline action items during a meeting so they can be spotted and copied out easily afterwards, per the creator.
- Sheets meeting template lets each speaker pre-fill agenda, owner, duration and pre-reads, and keeps prior discussions in one scrollable sheet.
- A mapping tab in the Sheets template drives the people dropdowns, so adding a team member updates the menus automatically.
- Bookmark filtered views for open comments assigned to you in Docs, Sheets and Slides so no assigned comment is forgotten.
