Automate your busywork : do less, achieve more, and save your brain for the big stuff / Aytekin Tank.

Tank, Aytekin, (author.).

Summary:

Reclaim your time and focus on what really matters in life and at work. Automate Your Busywork: Do Less, Achieve More, and Save Your Brain for the Big Stuff is a singularly powerful blueprint to unlocking your most precious resource: time. In the book, you'll discover how you can use "no-code" automation and delegation to free yourself up to accomplish the most important jobs and tasks in your life and work. You'll learn to achieve a state of "timefulness", where you've actually got enough time to get critical tasks done. The author describes what's possible when you offload repetitive tasks, how automation has democratized innovation, and how you should use cheap--or even absolutely free--"no-code" automation tools to reclaim your focus on what matters. Using the knowledge he gained as the CEO of Jotform, oone of the industry's leading "no-code" automation SaaS tools, he explains how to achieve your productivity potential. A can't-miss roadmap to refocusing on what matters and delegating or automating the rest, Automate Your Busywork is the time management resource that belongs in the libraries of busy executives, managers, and founders everywhere. -- Provided by publisher.
