Pre-solve communication structure through templates so cognitive resources can focus on content rather than form.

Why This Is a Principle

Derives from working memory limits (Working Memory Capacity Limit), cognitive depletion (Directed Attention as Depletable Resource), and chunking (Hierarchical Chunking Expands Capacity). The principle is prescriptive: use templates to offload structural decisions. It's actionable (apply templates), general (works for emails, presentations, conversations), and explains the mechanism (structure is chunked, freeing capacity for content).
