Editorial Reviews

Review

"I'm a big believer in the mantra of "less but better." This is how you play the game on Easy Mode. Automate Your Busywork provides an actionable, tactical framework to help you get back more of what you value most--your time. If you're one of the millions of people that find yourself feeling like there are never enough hours in the day, this is the book for you."
-Sahil Bloom, Author and Entrepreneur

Less but better is the name of the game these days and Automate Your Busywork will help you get there. By refocusing your time on what matters most and automating or delegating the rest, you'll be able to live a more fulfilling life while growing your business even faster. Who doesn't want that? -Nicholas Hutchison, Founder of BookThinkers

I have rarely seen someone pursue one theme throughout their life as consistently as Aytekin Tank. The man lives and breathes automation. I wouldn't be surprised to find a few gears running through his veins — but if there were, they wouldn't have made him any less human. To the contrary: Aytekin is all about empowering humans with technology. If you listen to him and really hear his message, you'll soon find yourself with more time and peace of mind — and if those aren't themes worth pursuing, then what is? -Niklas Göke, Founder of Four Minute Books

From the Inside Flap

In Automate Your Busywork: Do Less, Achieve More, and Save Your Brain for the Big Stuff, entrepreneur and Jotform CEO Aytekin Tank delivers an essential and insightful roadmap to help you make the most of your most precious asset: time. You'll discover what's possible when you offload repetitive tasks, why automation has democratized innovation, and how you can use cheap--or even completely free--"no-code" automation tools to revolutionize your ability to focus on what really matters in business and in life.

In the book, you'll discover how and why the future of business is "no-code", and how you can use an automation first mindset to unlock your productivity potential. You'll learn how to move from being preoccupied with busywork to having less work, and finally to having the time you need to accomplish your most important work. The author also explains how to use delegation and automation to achieve "timefulness", or the state of having enough time to get critical tasks done.

Automate Your Busywork demonstrates why--with the innovations offered by "no-code" solutions--you no longer need an entire IT department, or even a single software engineer, to automate your most repetitive tasks. You can collect data, automate payments, and create simple contracts with the click of a button.

An incisive and must-read blueprint to rededicating your time to the tasks and jobs that matter most to your life and business, Automate Your Busywork is the time management guide that managers, executives, board members, entrepreneurs, founders, and other business leaders have been waiting for.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent! Great Insights about Automation to Help People to Do their Best Work.

This was incredibly insightful and really well-written. If you are a fan of systems thinking, follow the work of other productivity experts, or just want to find the time to focus on the work that matters most, then you need to read this book!

It is not just a bunch of short-term tips and tricks, but rather a deep dive into the enduring principles of automation (and the accompanying mindset) that gives people the bandwidth to do deeply human work.

It's filled with practical examples, backed by deep research, and provides the motivation to re-evaluate your current workflows. I highly recommend it!

3.0 out of 5 stars Author is unsure of his audience and it shows
Reviewed in the United States on August 10, 2023

This book lacked sufficiently practical ideas for automating true busywork and the concepts for freeing yourself from the tyranny of "busyness" was undeveloped. If you work for a decently large company you can't simply download and use random third party apps as he suggests, nor can you deploy most automation without a reasonable degree of technical aptitude. The poor business schmucks who read this will get an account with Jotform and realize they still need two more integrations and a pro from IT to actually develop a working workflow. Need to onboard an employee? Yeah, you shouldn't use an off-the-shelf toolkit unless you want to hang your company's entire reputation and financial well-being on your capacity to map, build, and deploy software on your own. His advice may be more suitable for a family or small business of less 20 employees. Conceptually the ideas to think in terms of automation are helpful for laypeople but entirely superficial for readers with experience in coding, Agile, and the software delivery lifecycle.

Reviewed in the United States on March 24, 2024
This book helped me to see the possibilities for automating so many things in my business. It’s not a how-to as software platforms change on a regular basis. This book will help you think about productivity and getting busywork off your plate. I’ve recommended this to several friends.

I’m a huge fan of JotForm and use it at my school to streamline a lot of processes that Google Forms and other apps can’t really handle or provide a viable solution. I figured the book would offer more ideas in the area of education uses, but it’s geared more towards business than school….understandably. I did walk away with a few ideas, but nothing really mind-blowing.

Love this book and I wish the mainstream media pushed books like this but obviously they will continue to market those "you are a loser if you don't wake up at 5am" non-sense and make us all feel like a failure. I found this book very actionable. 4 days in and I'm making some healthy progress towards applying the Automation Flywheel which is the framework at the center of the book. Aytekin Tank offers insights that are as enlightening as they are practical, painting a picture of a man who not only talks the talk but walks the walk. I love his vision for a future where busywork is a thing of the past. Highly recommended
