Tools That Saved Me the Most Time This Month

Where the hours actually came back, measured rather than guessed.

By Chris G Jones · · 3 min read

Measured, not felt

Time savings are easy to imagine and hard to prove. I track the tasks that used to take an afternoon and now take an hour.

This month's winners

Three clear ones.

  • Claude for editing long drafts — roughly four hours saved
  • Make for enquiry routing — two hours of manual triage removed weekly
  • Stripe payment links on quotes — fewer chase calls, faster deposits

What did not help

Anything requiring a new habit from more than one person. Adoption, not capability, is the limiting factor almost every time.
