What tasks at work have you tried to automate but still have to do manually?

I’m curious about the repetitive computer tasks people deal with in their day-to-day work.

Are there any tasks that you find particularly tedious or time-consuming that you haven’t been able to automate?

For example:

• Moving information between email, Excel/Google Sheets, and other programs
• Entering the same information into multiple systems
• Copying information from PDFs or documents into spreadsheets
• Cleaning or reformatting spreadsheets
• Creating recurring reports
• Renaming/moving large numbers of files
• Sending repetitive emails or follow-ups

If you use tools like Zapier, Make, Power Automate, Automator, etc., are there still tasks you have to do manually?

If you’re regularly moving information between multiple programs, what programs or systems are you moving it between?

I’m especially interested in the small repetitive tasks that don’t seem like a big deal individually but add up to a lot of time over the course of a week.
