How do you deal with the “non-design” work that still takes most of your time?

Discussion

I’ve noticed a lot of my time isn’t actually spent on creative design, it’s things like resizing, formatting, making small layout changes, and keeping everything consistent across files.

It’s important work, but it doesn’t really feel like the part you get into design for.

Curious how others handle this. Do you just accept it as part of the job or have you found ways to reduce that time?
