Automation is a habit—here's how to build it

Automation is a habit you have to build, and it requires regularly noticing repetitive tasks, investing time in solving the problem, and iterating on workflows to ensure they are making a positive impact. Noticing when a task should be automated can be challenging, but it's essential to ask yourself whether a computer could do without your help. By automating tasks that involve frequent repetition, moving information between apps, or taking away from higher-order thinking, individuals can save time and increase organizational efficiency. Investing time upfront to set up and fine-tune automation workflows is crucial to achieving this goal.
