Software automation workflows

If you are repeating a task more than once in a week don't worry so much but if the task is repeated daily, you must consider options to automate it, if not all perhaps some parts of it. Repeated tasks wear you down and push you into realm of pseudo productivity. Therefore, look hard at utilizing some automation to help.

Write filters for email to sort it automatically into different buckets can help you go through the inbox more effectively.

If you are a developer use cron jobs

save sessions, so they can be reconstructed on single command

build pipelines for tasks which should execute serially

Write webhooks which are listening when you push the code and can run various jobs

Any interrupt you can save yourself from will improve your focus and hence productivity, it might sound a lot of time to write the scripts but in long run it will save a lot of time with compound interest.
