Stop Wasting Your Brain: When to Automate vs. Use a Human #Shorts

One of my key things I say to everybody who talks to me about automations is that if there's a decision that needs to be made by a human, the automation is probably not the way to go. However, if it's the same thing that has to happen every time and there's no decision process, why waste the human brain on something like that? So instead, we can use automations to pull the data to make those choices that we are going to ask it to make every single time. Does X equal Y? Then do A, right? This can actually make your process much more efficient when you're trying to get the data pulled together. So the routine tasks that are running through your system can be disseminated through this automation, automation process. It will free up valuable time to do other things because think about the amount of time it takes you. We probably don't, if you love spreadsheets like I love spreadsheets, the time doesn't matter. It seems to just. Flow into the world and you can spend tons of time playing with the data. But it does take away from other things that we need to be doing inside our business. If you don't like spreadsheets, then you might be happy to know that something else can do it for you. However, if you do love spreadsheets, think about the time it takes you to say, create the, dump the data is one thing, you're just a CSV file to dump, but then it's like you've got to choose the filters and then you have to choose these things and then you're writing, equations, and there's all kinds of other things that go on. A lot of that can be done automagically using an implementation tool like Make.com to be able to do those things for you before dumping it to the spreadsheet. Now.
