92 - Automation Q&A

  Welcome back to the Scale Your Small Business Podcast with your host, Jillian Flodstrom. Today, we’re diving into the feedback you had on our last installment on automating processes and systems within your business. Let’s talk about how you can calm the chaos.   A primary reason people want to start automating is ironically the same source of stress about automating. It can be a daunting process, but the truth is, until you solve what is causing you stress, it will continue to boil up until it overflows. So, the best place to start thinking about where to automate is to look at what continues to add stress to your day, you just need to take the time to sit down and consider your list of things to do.    Consider taking notes in the little pockets of time you have during the day. These notes can be about anything, but it can be helpful to write down where you left off on a project if you have to switch gears and move your focus elsewhere temporarily. That way you can come back without missing a beat.    Give yourself time for your brain to cool off. Work for a set amount of time and break for a set amount of time.  Key Takeaways   The best place to start thinking about where to automate is to look at what continues to add stress to your day.
