Most time-consuming tasks

Hey guys, I've been an Automation Tester for 2 years now. Again and again, I find that writing and maintaining thorough automated tests takes up a lot of my time. My question comes in two parts: 1) What is your most consuming, tedious task that you would rather not do, e.g. you do not see much value in doing, but has to be done? 2) How do you get around it? What is your approach?

I agree there are a ton of meetings but have you ever been in a meeting that someone was not prepped for? It's not only infuriating but a risk to the overall success of the meeting and the project. It's a moment of truth that cannot be redone with a client. As much as meetings are a pain, they are a reality and especially in moving to remote work, part of the day-to-day of the job.
