Ask Flex / Automating repetitive tasks
How do you be more efficient at work?
Efficient means the same task takes less time, so start by timing three tasks you repeat and cutting the steps in them that don't need you. Then let AI do the first draft of anything you write, because fixing a draft is faster than starting from a blank page.
Less time per task.
Time three repeat tasks
A phone timer. You'll be surprised.
Cut a step
Every task has one that doesn't need you.
Draft with AI
Fixing beats starting from blank.
Batch the small stuff
Replies twice a day, not all day.
Here are three tasks I do every week and how long each one takes me: [list them with minutes]. For each one, break it into steps, tell me which steps AI could do or draft, which ones I could skip or batch, and how many minutes that would save me a week.
