Automate Your Busywork

Automate Your Busywork argues that modern work isn’t broken because people lack discipline—it’s broken because too many repetitive, low-value tasks still depend on human attention. Aytekin Tank, founder of Jotform, shows how to reclaim time and focus by turning recurring tasks into automated workflows using affordable, no-code tools.

The core framework is the automation flywheel: Divide & Conquer (identify busywork and detect workflows), Design & Implement (map processes visually and deploy tools), and Refine & Iterate (measure results, gather feedback, and continuously improve). The book closes with a wide set of real-world automation examples—email, meetings, HR, finance, customer support, content, and more—helping readers redesign workdays around meaningful output instead of endless maintenance.

• Professionals overwhelmed by email, meetings, scheduling, and recurring admin who want a repeatable system to remove busywork.
• Founders, managers, and team leads who need scalable workflows for HR, support, sales, and operations without hiring a large team.
• Non-technical creators and operators curious about no-code automation (Zapier/Make/forms/AI transcription) who want practical use cases and a step-by-step method.

Aytekin Tank is the founder and CEO of Jotform, a bootstrapped global SaaS company that helps millions of users automate work through online forms. He writes about productivity, leadership, and workflow automation, and advocates for no-code tools as a way to democratize innovation.
