About this Template

What are these techniques?

This template contains seven of the brainstorming techniques used by WeWork to come up with new ideas or solve problems. These techniques were chosen because they counteract the main issues that arise when coming up with ideas in a group setting. Issues like introverts not having the space or confidence to speak up, the anchoring effect giving the first ideas more weight, and going into a brainstorming session without a clear plan.

What does this template provide?

The template lists the seven techniques with a brief description that should be enough to understand and apply the technique with your team. A checklist is also provided to make it super simple to do the technique even if it's your first time. We recommend you scan through the different methods and pick the one that resonates most with you.

How to use the template

The bullet journal template has two main sections, the calendar, and the monthly '⏳ Future' sections.

The calendar - A long list of months with each month containing the days for that month. You'll add your tasks, notes and events under each day.

The future logs - Each month has a '⏳ Future' section that serves as a placeholder for activities that should be completed during that month but do not yet have a specific date.

The monthly log allows you to view all the events for a given month. You create this view by clicking on the bullet for the current month and then clicking on the star ⭐️ to save that view in the left hand sidebar.

The daily log allows you to quickly jump to today and work on the day's tasks and events, and add notes. You create this view by searching for 'Today' in the menu bar and then clicking on the star ⭐️ to save that view in the left hand sidebar.
