The 30-second task you do 50 times a day is the most expensive task in your business. Micro-automations are the cheapest way to win it back.

## Find the Micro-Tasks

Ask each team member: "What's the most repetitive thing you do every day?" The answers will name themselves: copying data, sending the same templated reply, updating two systems with the same change.

## Build, Measure, Trim

Ship the micro-automation, time the savings, and only keep what proves out. Automation discipline matters at small scale because at large scale every workflow has leverage.

## Compound the Wins

Hours saved should fund hours invested in the next automation. The flywheel only spins if the savings get re-deployed, not absorbed back into busywork.
