The Core #7: Admin isn't for humans

The Core #7: Admin isn't for humans
Here we go again
The Core is a limited series of concise principles, sharing the ideas that sit at the heart of everything I do. My main newsletter may be found here.

Admin is a waste of time. It's just moving data from one place (or format) to another place (or format). Then doing it again.

It's amazing how much modern work is just admin.

Automate it and move on. Or better still, get rid of the need to do admin in the first place by designing a better system. It's never been more possible than it is today.
