What Types of Tasks Can be Scheduled Automatically?

Every day a basic task can be automated to free up your time for more important activities. For example, apps like ClickUp and Mailchimp allow you to create repeating tasks so recurring deadlines can be met automatically. You can also set up reminders for yourself or your team members when important tasks are coming up in Google Calendar. IFTTT also allows you to set up automated reminders for yourself or other members of your team. This can be especially helpful for meetings and deadlines that need to be met on a regular basis.

Here are tasks that offer a great opportunity for you to increase productivity by introducing scheduling automation:

• Meetings
• Planned social media content
• Other content marketing activities, like emails and blog articles
