You do not have to eat that frog - dealing with repetitive tasks

‘Eat that Frog!’ is a bestseller by Brian Tracy which focused on how to handle jobs that you are not enthusiastic about. The trick is to do it now!  It gives the ultimate cure for procrastination; to always handle the important and difficult task first.

But what if you do not have to eat the frog at all? What if you do not need to bother with the task at all? And I am not referring to unimportant tasks.

In fact, it is about very important tasks that are repetitive; like payroll management, sorting and organising mails, replying mails, administrative bureaucracy and lots more.

One lesson from a programming class was, 'if it is repetitive, you must automate it!’ Works get boring, if you have to do the same thing over and over again, and this increases the chances of the inherent errors in manual handling.

The whole concept of Business Process Automation (BPA) is to reduce monotony, increase efficiency, reduce human errors and manage time effectively. Interestingly, you do not need to go bankrupt to achieve this.

A good place to start is your mails. Myriads of email clients are available from which you can choose. They help to automatically sort your inbox by attaching priorities to messages. You can also automate reply for recurrent requests.

A major component of BPA is Business Process Outsourcing (BPO); some frogs are just not meant for you to deal with at all and must not necessarily be automated. Such frogs have to be passed over to other hands. We happen to know so much about this. Why not contact us to learn how we can help your business through BPO?

Remember, if you ever have to repeat any process, you must automate it!
