I see some people take automation to the extreme.
I am one of those people. I’m so into automating business processes. Heck I even named my company after it: AutomateValue!

Don’t spend two days automating something to save a couple of seconds of a process that runs once a week.
Don’t automate stuff that you do once or twice a year.
It’s not worth it.
