Why should you automate?
When should you automate?
If something has occurred for more than 50 times and takes more than 20% of your production capacity, it’s time to look for automation.

“Boring” is not the same as “invaluable”.
You know that you’re automating too soon if you can’t answer this.
How much time will this yield?
When is the tipping point of the investment we need to make to automate?
The railroad to efficiency goes via curiosity, undivided attention and patience.
Don’t skip those.
