"Rabbit Hole: The Automation Obsession"

In the episode "The Automation Obsession" of the podcast The Distraction Advantage, host Shannon Stone discusses her experience and insights into business automation. Shannon recounts how her initial attempts at automation ended up being more time-consuming and complex than they were worth. She advises that the goal of automation should be to save time and improve efficiency, rather than to create overly complex systems. The key is to focus on high-impact, low-maintenance tasks that drain time and energy. Shannon also gives listeners a checklist to decide whether a task is ripe for automation, emphasizing that automation should not compromise the client experience or become a distraction. Next week's episode will focus on turning digital presence into a lead magnet.
