Today’s Audio MASTERCLASS: Automating our Busy Work
[1:32] – Aytekin shares something that he believes about becoming successful that most people disagree with.
- Success requires believing in working on the important things.
[2:33] – Moving from busy work to less work so we can focus on important work.
- There are two kinds of problems, the urgent and important. The urgent are never important, and important are never urgent.
- We leave the important things for later, and what happens is that later becomes never.
- The approach to solve the visible problem is being able to work on the important things.
- The solution is automation.
[6:06] – Using both delegation and automation in achieving time-fulness: the state of having enough time.
- When we don’t have to think about other things, we can think things thoroughly.
- If you need to think about product strategy, or write a chapter of your book, or even write a blog post, you can focus and spend all your time on that work.

[12:55] – The future of business, No Code.
- Software is eating the world. Everything is becoming software because software is flexible, cheaper. It allows us to do more things.
- No Code allows people to build their own solutions.
- AI is the ultimate No Code product because you just tell it what you want and it understands.
[16:10] – Getting into the “Automation First” mindset.
- Know what you should and shouldn’t spend your time on.
- The time you spend on things that you shouldn’t spend your time on are things that you should automate.
- Harness impatience and laziness.
- You need to make time to save time
- Embrace systems thinking.
[19:33] – Aytekin’s key takeaway and call to action.
