Making your job do itself should be everyone’s goal. That is the ultimate level of productivity. If your job is automated enough that you only have to do a fraction of it, you’ll be catapulted to a whole new life of freedom and success. Here’s why:
- Accuracy. People make mistakes. Computers rarely do. If you set your systems up properly, you will make much fewer mistakes, which means that you’re doing your job much better.
- Freedom. If you don’t actually have to be behind your desk all the time, you’re free to do whatever you want to do. You’re not restricted to the actual, menial tasks of just doing your job.
- Growth. Your growth is limited to the amount of time you have and what you can get done. If you decrease the amount of time needed to accomplish your job, you can now take that free time and reinvest it in your growth and development.
- Teamwork. If you and your team know exactly what to expect and what processes are in place, there’s a much greater layer of transparency, letting your team members work together and communicate more effectively.
