In the rush to build, test, and ship, it's easy for product teams to lose sight of the humans behind the clicks.

But empathy isn't a luxury. It's a necessity ...especially when you're building fast.

That's why we created the Reflective Worksheet Playbook ...a free, lightweight tool designed to help teams pause just long enough to reconnect with their users. Whether you're a PM, designer, engineer, or founder, this worksheet guides you through short but powerful questions that can shape better decisions.

Why Use a Reflective Worksheet?

Because real insight often begins with a simple question.

This worksheet isn't a theory deck. It's a practical exercise to help you and your team reflect on what truly matters ...from how users feel to what frustrates them most.

You don't need a two-week sprint. You need 15 focused minutes and a willingness to listen.

What's Inside

The Reflective Worksheet Playbook walks you through six focused prompts:

1. Who is your product really for?
   Move beyond personas and revisit the actual humans using your product.
2. What's the most frustrating part of your product today?
   Identify the one thing that most affects your users ...and decide how to fix it.
3. When did you last observe someone using it?
   Reflection meets reality. Observing users isn't a research luxury ...it's a clarity accelerator.
4. What's one small change you could make this week?
   Make it actionable. Improve clarity, reduce friction, or spark delight... with minimal effort.
5. Wrap-up and commit.
   Share your notes. Create a quick ticket. Revisit often.

It's that simple, and that impactful.

How Teams Use It

The worksheet is built for flexibility. Some teams use it to kick off design sprints. Others use it in 1:1s, retros, or async UX check-ins.

Perfect for:

• PMs seeking stronger product intuition
• Designers looking to humanize flows/li>
• Engineers avoiding rework by anticipating confusion/li>
• Founders trying to stay close to their early users

Whether you're refining onboarding or rethinking a roadmap, these questions get to the core of what matters.

Ready to Reflect?

Empathy isn't a stage in your design process ...it's a mindset.

And like any mindset, it needs regular practice.
