Accounting Apps Podcast | Accounting Technology | formerly Cloud Stories - A podcast by Heather Smith | Accountant & Storyteller - Wednesdays

Today I’m speaking with Andrew Sims, CEO of SuiteFiles Key Learnings from this episode include: Understanding Fatigue: Decision, friction, and task fatigue impact productivity. Recognising them is the first step to overcoming them. Practical Boundaries: Setting clear work boundaries and minimising interruptions can dramatically improve focus. Calendar & Meeting Management: Colour-coded calendars, automated scheduling tools, and meeting transcribers save time and reduce cognitive overload. Digital Decluttering: Organised digital workspaces reduce friction fatigue and make information retrieval seamless. Deep Work Techniques: Methods like the Pomodoro technique, energy peak planning, and music-driven focus improve concentration. The Right Tech Tools: Document management, email organisation, and workflow automation enhance efficiency and reduce time wasted on repetitive tasks.
