Ask Flex

Too much paperwork at work? How do you cut it down?

"There's too much administrative work at my job. The paperwork takes longer than the actual work."You asked Google. Flex answered.

Flex's short answer

Start by listing every form, report, and repeat email you touch in a week, with rough minutes. Then hand the repeat parts to AI, like drafting, filling in, and renaming, and keep the judgment for yourself.

✱ Flex's tips

Find the repeats.

1

Track one week

Every form, report, and repeat email.

2

Circle the repeats

Same form, same steps, every time.

3

Hand off the draft

AI fills it in or drafts it. You check.

4

Ask what can go

Some reports nobody reads. Ask.

Try this in your own Claude or ChatGPT

Here's the paperwork I do in a normal week: [list it with rough minutes]. Sort it into things AI could draft for me, things only I can do, and things worth asking my boss if we still need. Add up the minutes in each pile.

Before you paste work stuff into any AI, check what your company allows.

If this comes back every week, the free Lab shows you how to hand it to Claude.
