This is actually a much deeper topic than it first appeared. It is a good
one to think about.
I agree that a series of templates you create during the slow time is a good
way to solve this. It is so easy to get in trouble by not thinking things
out.
And templates created by someone else and freely distributed from which to
work is also a great idea.
