My friend and colleague, Dr. Reshan Richards, is great on the topic of automation.  He reminds us that, as we gain time due to automation or efficiency, we should protect that time and use it for truly human interactions, whether that includes spending more time with our families, pursuing some kind of personal expression through an artistic side project, or doing the kinds of work that only we can do.

Here’s a quick video I made to demonstrate one way that I automated the use of feedback this year in an effort to do a better job with a task that I perform every year at the same time.  In this case, automation ensured that I made the best use of some great insights from a colleague.
