For each one: - Estimated weekly time saved - Recommended automation tool (Zapier, Make, Claude Connector, Cowork, or manual with Claude) - Complexity rating: Easy (under 30 minutes to set up) / Medium (1-2 hours) / Hard (half a day or more) - One-sentence description of the automation 3. **The "Quick Win" Pick** — Which ONE task should I automate first? Choose based on: highest score, easiest to implement, lowest risk of error. Explain why. 4. **Leave These Manual** — Tasks from the diary that should NOT be automated, and why (too rare, too judgment-heavy, too risky). Here is my task diary: [Paste your week of logs]
