Build Your Track Record in One Year
A one-year plan for building experience worth writing about, opened about a year before applications open, once you realize there is nothing on the page yet. The whiteboard holds the goal and the hours you truly have each week, a quadrant sorting activities by effort against how they read on paper, a five-step flow from choosing to writing up, a table of targets and proof, and frames on momentum and stalling. Five task columns run from candidates to written up - move only the activity you picked into This term, and a card reaches Proof recorded once it carries numbers and someone else's words.
From Acceptance to Enrollment: Deadlines, Deposits and Decisions
An acceptance-to-enrollment template, opened the moment results are out, for a student and family who must lock in a school without missing a deposit deadline, a form or the window to decline. The whiteboard holds your chosen school, the payment deadlines and the offers you will decline, the six steps from results day to your first day, a tracker of deadline, amount, destination and status per item, and a matrix for what to buy. The task board splits into results, deposit, forms, declines and new-life prep, and any card that costs money must pass through Paid before it reaches Done.
Paying for University: Costs, Support Programs and Deadlines
A university funding plan for tuition, living costs and scholarships, opened the day the first support notice arrives, so student and family see the whole cost and every deadline in one place. The whiteboard states the total and your household limit, maps cost items by when they fall, runs a six-step application flow, sorts programs by size against likelihood, and lists deadlines, documents and family topics. The task board takes one card per program: move the earliest deadlines through Research support and Preparing to apply, then park sent applications in Waiting for result.
Case and Group Interview Drill: Reach a Conclusion in 30 Minutes
A drill board for group discussions and case interviews, opened a couple of weeks before the first session at a selection stage that has to reach a conclusion in thirty minutes. The whiteboard holds the target for those thirty minutes, a five-step run from framing to the closing move, a mind map of the five recurring topic types, a log table per practice round, and frames for ground rules, marks lost, and lessons. Five task columns run from Discussion topics to Used for real - pull only the next topic into Preparing, move it to Reviewed the same day, and send it on once it has worked for real.
Career Path Comparison: Job, Grad School or Public Service
A career decision template for comparing employment, graduate school and public service side by side, opened two years before graduation when peers are moving but you still cannot choose a path. The whiteboard holds your decision date and fixed constraints, a map of five paths, a table of preparation against cost and deadlines, a five-step flow, and frames for who to ask, worries and the decision. Five task columns run from candidates through research, testing and comparison to the decision - move the earliest deadline into Researching first, and let only paths seen in person reach Comparing.
Your Job Criteria Worksheet: Decide What Matters Before Applying
A job criteria worksheet for students attending info sessions and internships who still cannot say why one employer appeals over another, opened before narrowing down where to apply. The whiteboard holds a four-step flow that pulls criteria out of choices you already made, a must-have versus can-flex quadrant, a table giving each criterion a verdict and a question to ask, and rules for wavering. Five task columns run from taking stock through drafting and clarifying to confirmed criteria - Verified needs an answer from someone who works there, Confirmed means it can judge a real opening.
Alumni and Professional Chats: From First Ask to Thank-You
An outreach tracker for alumni chats and informational interviews, from the first request email to the thank-you and follow-up, opened when the first message keeps stalling. The whiteboard holds how many people to meet, the etiquette for asking and thanking, a six-step flow from finding people to the follow-up, a record grid per person, ways to find introductions, a request template, and what to do if declined. Five columns run from People to reach to Thanked and logged - one card per person, moved to Request sent the day you write, cleared once the thank-you is sent and notes are in the grid.
Stay or Go Decision Board: Separate Feelings from Facts and Decide by a Set Date
This stay-or-go decision template is for anyone who has spent two weeks or more torn between quitting and staying in their current job and wants to reach a decision by a set date. The whiteboard holds seven areas — the reasons written as concrete incidents, a mind map that splits them six ways, a decision matrix of what you can change against what you can live with, and a pros-and-cons comparison of moving (Pros-Cons). The task board runs five columns — All complaints, Checking facts, Testing, Evidence in, Decided — and starts with 5 parent tasks and 13 subtasks, all not started. Because the decision day goes into the calendar first, you stop carrying the same doubt for another six months and settle it on facts you checked yourself.
Salary Negotiation Prep: Market Rate, Your Floor, and the Words to Open With
A salary negotiation prep template for anyone with an offer conversation coming up who needs the market rate for the role, a walk-away number, and the exact words to open the ask. The whiteboard holds a target-and-floor panel, a grid that breaks each offer into base pay, hours, bonus, and real hourly rate, and a 5W1H layout (What, Why, Who, When, Where, How) for building how you raise the number. The kanban runs five columns, from market research to agreed and closed, with five parent tasks and 13 subtasks waiting, from gathering evidence to getting the terms in writing. Settling the market number and the floor in advance means the offer call stops being improvised, and you know exactly what to say, and in what order, before the answer deadline.
Resume Rewrite Workshop: Turn Duties Into Numbers and Get Past the Screen
A resume template for people one to five years into their career whose applications keep stalling at the resume screen, built for rewriting duty-style bullet points into achievements with numbers. The whiteboard sets the role you are targeting and who reads the file, takes stock of your work with YWT (what you did, what you learned, what you do next), and holds a rewrite table pairing each old line with its numbered version and the evidence behind it, a fit with the role × size of the result matrix for picking which wins go first, a pre-send checklist, the phrases to avoid and a format for asking someone to review it. The task board runs five columns from Source material to Ready to send, with five parent tasks (the summary, putting numbers on wins, per-employer edits, the outside review and the formatting pass) and 12 subtasks, all unstarted. Lines that end in responsible for turn into achievements with a before and an after, so you stop rewriting the whole resume from scratch for every application.
Resignation Roadmap: Work Back from Giving Notice to Your Last Day
A resignation roadmap template for people who have decided to quit, covering how to give notice to your manager, answer a counter-offer, use up your leave, hand over, and fix your last working day. The whiteboard holds a goal frame for the dates you will not move, a notice flow (manager, department head, written notice, announcement, handover), a countdown grid of what to do, by when, who to tell and where it stands, a Pros-Cons weighing what staying gains you against what it costs you, and a checklist of what to get in writing. The task board runs five columns from Preparing to Done, with five parent tasks - working back from your last day, setting the order people are told, preparing for pushback, settling leave and paperwork, and saying goodbye to clients - and 13 subtasks, none of them started. Notice periods and leave rules differ by country, so replace the day counts with your own; working from dates, order, and written records keeps resigning factual rather than emotional, right through to your last day.
Remote Work Self-Management: Making Your Hours and Your Progress Visible
Remote Work Self-Management is a template for someone in their first job on remote or hybrid work who has to set their own hours and make daily progress visible to a manager who never sees them. The whiteboard carries a written agreement on start, sign-off and reachable hours, the shape of a day in five steps, a grid that splits office days from home days, a ten-minute Friday KPT retrospective (Keep, Problem, Try), and the rules for messaging and replying. The task board runs five columns - Not started, Focus today, In progress, Shared / waiting, Done - and arrives with five parent tasks and 13 subtasks covering your setup, your hours, your updates, asking for help, and the weekly review. Instead of worrying that nobody can see you working from home, you end up with a three-line update every morning and one honest KPT every Friday.
