What's a Task You Spend Way Too Much Time On?

I was reviewing my week and realized something embarrassing.

I spent 3 hours on email triage. Not responding — just sorting, labeling, and deciding what to deal with later.

That's 3 hours I could've spent building, talking to users, or literally anything else.


It got me thinking — we all have these "invisible time sinks":

• Scheduling back-and-forth
• Remembering follow-ups
• Hunting through Slack for that one link
• Copy-pasting the same info to different people

Tasks that feel like work but don't actually move anything forward.


So I'm curious — what's YOUR time sink?

What's that thing you do every week that makes you think "there has to be a better way" but you keep doing it anyway?

Might turn the best answers into something 👀
