It’s another stressful day at the office - and you’ve lost count of how many days it’s been since there has been some “peace and quiet”.
Your inbox is flooded with hundreds of emails.
Buried underneath them are messages from team members.
Some of them were intent on being urgent because of a problem they ran into while working on an important project.
When approached by a team member hours later, they ask: “did you get the email?”
You say “no, I didn’t”.
You were made unaware of the setback of a project the team was working on because it was buried underneath all the other emails that seemed unnecessary and less than important.
But it doesn’t end there.
The workflow is disrupted by plenty of obstacles.
And the task load is much higher than you can humanly imagine.
Think of the amount of stress you are putting on yourself physically and mentally.
And yes - it can take a toll on your overall health.
The feeling of stress and burnout is no picnic.
We’re not going to talk about stress and the negative health effects.
But there’s a way to prevent it - and it starts with dealing with the sources of it.
You’re dealing with poor productivity, poor communication, poor time management, and so much more.
The good news is that it doesn’t have to be like this at all.
We live in the Digital Age - a time in human history where we rely on technology like never before.
So you assess the tasks that you see as tedious and automate them.
Not bad, right?
Things go smoothly for a bit. But they’re not enough.
You’re still on a time crunch - and you’re still trying to iron out the wrinkles.
Again, it doesn’t have to be like this at all.
Because there are plenty of tools out there that can automate as many simple tasks as possible.
Even better - it can take out all the complex stuff that makes certain tasks difficult.
