What should I automate first?

The answer
Start with a repeatable, well-understood task whose errors can be detected and corrected. Examples may include reminders or consistent reservation information, depending on the tools and obligations. Do not automate an unclear process hoping software will resolve it.
Define the owner, input, expected output, and fallback. Automation is most useful when it supports a reliable routine rather than hides responsibility.
