"One of my favorite benefits of automating repetitive workflows is that I can keep my brain focused on the task at hand rather than shifting gears to deal with boilerplate or setup. Especially when the task at hand is creative and brain intensive (like writing a blog post or closing bugs)" "By automating our workflows we can hand over to the computer what it’s been designed to do (and does really well) and focus on what we’re really good at (back to the idea of context there)." My takeaways • One can systemise by writing scripts or SOPs • By automation, one doesn’t need them to run automatically. Manual scripts can reduce the friction too. https://kentcdodds.com/blog/automation
