One Note is good for this, it doesn’t have to be a do-nothing script.
One Note also has the ability to add checkboxes as dot points, and you can make “template pages” for each procedure and then you can then just right click -> duplicate, and use the checkboxes to keep track of where you get upto in a process.
The reason this is great for me is because I virtually never get to sit still and finish anything unless it takes less than 1 min. People pull my attention in every direction.

- IanCal 2y agoDoes one note have some way of adding scripted items to automate some of the steps?
- aetherspawn 2y agoI don’t think so, but in my opinion a lot of business stuff takes way too much effort to integrate and is too flakey (APIs keep changing) that we don’t bother automating much between silos anymore. It literally takes more time (and cost) on average to automate the task, than what you save if you do the task less than 50 times or so per month, and once you automate it you’ll have to maintain the automation which will break more than you expect (rotate API keys, APIs change, etc) So I used to push hard for automation. Now I push hard for simplicity (checklists) so the clerks can deal with it and free up the devs to improve product.
