Automating Tasks
Getting stuck doing repetitive tasks? Try using automation tools, allowing you to focus on the bigger picture items. This is most effective with items that are mundane and repeated, like sending repeated emails, setting up meetings, and posting on social media. Don’t have a computer science background? That’s ok! There are many tools out there to support businesses and tasks of any size that don’t require any coding experience. For starters, research options within your own ecosystem. For example, if you’re using Microsoft products, Power Automate might be a great tool to explore. And don’t forget, Chat GPT might be able to help as well.
