Is There A Benefit To Tech Automation?

Kennedy-Mighell ReportThere is a very good chance that if you are reading about productivity on the Internet, the author (including yours truly) is promoting the benefits of automation.

Speaking for myself, I am all for automating as much as possible. Whether it is using something like TextExpander, Hazel, File Juggler, or iOS keyboard shortcuts, I am always looking for ways to have my computer do the work for me.

I was recently listening to a podcast by Dennis Kennedy and Tom Mighell called the Kennedy-Mighell Report, and the episode was The Benefits of Tech Automation: Why Attorneys Should Opt In.

Even though the podcast is on the Legal Talk Network, I don’t think this episode is necessarily exclusive to lawayers.

When I started listening, I expected the usual automation rah-rah, but to my surprise it turned into an interesting discussion of automation tools and whether it is even worth automating many of the tasks we productivity nerds take for granted.

Whether you agree or disagree, sometimes it is helpful to check your own biases. The episode is embedded below, or you can visit their page for more.
