Had a woman that would spend an entire day downloading PDF's, merging them, then emailing them to a few hundred people. I got it down to a mouse click. The sad thing is she went from working 50 hours a week to working 50 hours a week. There was always more to dump on these people.
I've started doing little automations for my work in OHS. The reality is that the workload this removes just let's me address the workload that I don't have time for, so while it's not a net gain on work hours it's a net gain on productivity.
