I automate all the small, repetitive tasks I can. Even when I'm heavy into coding (where I'm working with JS/php/db all day long every day), I'll have a script which opens my terminal and editors and the db etc. so that my day starts with a ./startEd.sh command.
Right now I'm setting up a staging server for my new webapp (I'm frantically working towards a private beta). This is new learning for me- and I'm writing a script for everything I do (that I can). This not only sets up a way for me to do setup/config tasks automatically, so I don't make typos, etc.), but also documents what I'm doing. I hadn't considered that aspect of it before I started writing these scripts.
