    It’s clutch for boring emails with several tedious document summaries. Sometimes I get a day’s work done in 4 hours.

    Automation can be great, when it comes from the bottom-up.

      Honestly, that’s been my favorite - bringing in automation tech to help me in low-tech industries (almost all corporate-type office jobs). When I started my current role, I was working consistently 50 hours a week. I slowly automated almost all the processes and now usually work about 2-3 hours a day with the same outputs. The trick is to not increase outputs or that becomes the new baseline expectation.
