What's one business task you wish you could completely forget about?

ShahrozS · Jul 13, 2026

Every business has that one task that has to be done, but nobody actually enjoys doing it.

For some it's invoicing.
For others it's payroll.

Some spend hours following up with employees or clients just to verify information that should already be available.

I'm curious, what's the one recurring task in your business that you'd happily never do again if you could?

Following up with clients for the same information is very tiring. It feels like a waste of time.

Marketing, it is really a boring task.

Exactly. The time spent chasing the same information over and over often ends up costing more than the task itself.

It can be, especially when you're doing the same outreach over and over. Finding a repeatable process makes a huge difference.

for me the worst part is customer support, getting the same questions over and over again, while customers expect personalized, non-generic replies so they feel properly taken care of. Doing this every day can be really exhausting, especially when you have to deal with difficult customers

Bookkeeping and invoicing, hands down. I'd automate all of it if I could.

I can relate to that. The challenge isn't just answering the questions, it's making every customer feel like they're getting a thoughtful response instead of a copy and paste reply. Out of curiosity, have you found anything that actually reduces those repetitive questions, or do they just keep coming back?

Dealing with the rain
Waiting for clients on the street at night until finally a rich man with a car comes by to take me to the motel is exhausting when it's raining...

I think keeping things simple works best in SEO. In my experience, creating useful content consistently and being patient usually gives better results than chasing every new trick.

You can just turn to hentai and you have the world at your fingertips

What do you think of flipping the script, where the client is the one waiting for you ? : D

Self-promotion gets old fast. I'd automate that in a heartbeat ;D

Dealing with millenials.

For me, it’s definitely manual reporting checks. Going through dashboards, verifying numbers, and cross‑checking data feels endless, especially when most of it should be automated. If I could skip that recurring task forever, I’d happily do so!
