Automate your standard routine work with Apple Automator

In a recent post, I talked about the idea of reducing your standard routine work and increasing the time available to focus on projects (non-routine work).

With this in mind, wouldn't it be great to reduce the actual time spent doing the same repetitive tasks.

On your apple you can. Automator is a tool that remembers a set of sets in a process and repeats them with one click. Think of them as a Macro that you find in excel. Their possibility is probably as large as your imagination of application.

Wouldn't it be great to remove all the repetitive tasks you complete each day with one click for each? Check it out and see what it can do for you today.
