Work smarter: How to avoid tedious tasks that rob you of productive hours

By Mathew Lajoie

As an entrepreneur, owner, or manager of a small/medium sized business, how often have you bemoaned this fact: “I’m too busy working in the business to work on the business!” 

We understand how you feel. You need time to let your creativity flow so you can come up with ways to increase value to customers, improve workplace culture, and execute on creating an outstanding experience for everyone in touch with your brand. However, the day-to-day tasks that are required to keep the company going leave you with very little time to do anything but work.

The solution is automation.

Automation got a bad rap when it first started entering the workplace. The thought was that robots, apps, and AI would take away jobs, leaving many people with a need to retrain or find new work. The opposite has proven true. Automation has freed up entrepreneurs, owners, and managers to have the repetitive, tedious tasks handled in the most efficient, error-free way. This leaves time for better creative leadership and moves employees to higher value positions.

Consider, for example, a receptionist that no longer has to be at the front desk to check visitors in, thanks to a tablet that rings an office worker’s line when a corresponding button is pressed. The receptionist can move into/train for bookkeeping, EA support, or other areas where more skills and opportunities are present.
