What to Automate First

FoundationalModule 014 reps, about 15 min total

The question I get more than any other is where do I even start. So we start with your week, not with a tool. You walk through the work you actually do, we score each task on how often it comes back, what it costs you when it goes wrong, and how automatable it honestly is, and you leave with the first three things to fix and the reason they are in that order. This is triage, not a tool tour.

What you will be able to do

  • A repeatable way to inventory what your week actually contains
  • Scoring tasks by frequency, pain, and how automatable they really are
  • Telling the work worth automating from the work that just feels tedious
  • Your first three automations, ranked, with a reason for the order
