NOT THISAGAIN
A practical guide to delegating and automating repetitive work
For brains that have better things to do than remember the same seventeen steps twice. Luigi Pascal Rondanini.
Inside the how-to
You have already done this once. Why are you doing it again?
Finding invoices. Renaming files. Checking whether somebody replied. Uploading recordings. Completing another form with information you have already entered somewhere else. Remembering every Thursday that you were supposed to check something. None of these jobs is glamorous. That is the point.
This is not a book about generating things with AI. It will not teach you how to write a novel with a chatbot or produce fifty social-media posts before breakfast. It is about the other work: attention. What to hand off. What to leave alone. How to stop doing the same task twice.
The book gives you two short frames you can keep in your head:
- OPERATE / COORDINATE / INDUSTRIALISE — how far the work should go.
- INPUT / DONE / EXCEPTION / STOP — what the machine must understand before you trust it.
It closes with a hard stop: Before you automate it.
Highlights from the chapters:
- 1. Seven minutes is not seven minutes
- 5–7. OPERATE, COORDINATE, INDUSTRIALISE
- 9–12. INPUT, DONE, EXCEPTION, STOP
- 29–32. Remove initiation, reduce switching, make outputs predictable, keep systems quiet
- 33–37. The Safe Stop — green, amber, red; evidence; no guessing; silent failure
- 46–53. Patterns for horrible folders, weekly checks, 10,000 files, and “I don't trust it yet”
