Two areas that can really help reduce busywork are automation and integration. With the move to so many online, Software as a Service type applications, moving content from one to another is one of the worst types of busywork there is! I’m a huge advocate of using built-in integrations or servicess like Zapier and If This Then That to seamlessly move information.

It means we can spend more time on the value-add, revenue-generating tasks that every freelancer or small business owner needs to focus on.
