Automate a repetitive computer task

Find one annoying thing you repeatedly do on a computer and make the computer do it instead.

Do it

1. Pick a small repetitive job: renaming files, sorting downloads or processing text.
2. Write down the exact steps you currently perform.
3. Choose a tool you already have, such as PowerShell, Python or a shell script.
4. Automate the smallest useful version first.
5. Test it on disposable data before trusting it with anything important.

What next?

Finish it properly. Then go back and find something else to do.
