What’s the one thing in your business you wish you never had to do again?

I’ve been thinking about how much time in small businesses still goes to boring operational stuff that isn’t really “work,” but still has to get done. I do this all the time.

Things like updating CRMs, moving info between tools, writing follow-ups, updating spreadsheets, creating reports, etc. None of it is hard, it just eats time and breaks focus.

Say you finish a client call. Normally you’d:

• write notes
• update the CRM
• create follow-up tasks
• send a recap
• update whatever internal tracker you use

Trying to figure out if this is actually a real pain point or just something that sounds good in theory.

For people here:

• What’s the most repetitive thing in your business right now?
• What have you tried to automate that didn’t work?
• Is the problem the tools themselves, or just that automation takes too much setup?
• What’s something you’d immediately hand off if you could?
