179 Automation FTW

Everyone knows that to succeed as an entrepreneur (and just to be productive) you have to learn to delegate. However, in this episode I make the case for why it's preferable to automate a task rather than delegate it, when possible. I provide some examples of how I use automation to help my own productivity, such as:

Text expansion (automated reuse of blocks of standard text) using TextExpanderFile manipulation (automating your own procedures for naming, changing and filing documents using HazelDictation and transcription using Dragon Dictate and SiriScripting using AppleScript,  Automator and Keyboard maestro for mac.
I also provide links to some resources that I use for learning about automation:
