How to make your workday 56% less annoying

The same repetitive tasks. Day in, day out. Open a file. Log in. Search for the field. Enter the data. Download. Upload. Check. Send an email. Tick a checkbox. Repeat. For many professionals, this is everyday reality. Not because it has to be like this, but because the system simply works this way. And it costs you hours of manual labour and hassle every week. Annoying, right?

Is your work this Annoying?

You know the feeling. Having to enter the same data for the third time. Or juggling ten tabs to complete a single task. You click endlessly, lose track, and think: “Why is this so cumbersome?” You don’t need a mindfulness session or breathing exercise. You need systems that work.

Many processes are filled with unnecessary steps, manual work, and digital detours. And that just wears you down. You want fewer clicks and more things done. At Rocksolid, we believe digital tools should make your work easier, not make your day feel longer. Stop the redundant steps, frustrating tools, and clumsy workarounds. There’s a better way.

What Do We Mean by “Fewer Clicks”?

Fewer steps to reach your goal
Less switching between systems
Less manual work that could be automated

Let’s Make It Concrete:

An employee who had to go through 6 screens to process a customer file → now 2 clicks in a central system
A scheduler who manually entered 50 appointments every morning → now automatically generated based on availability
A manager merging reports from 3 tools into Excel → now a real-time dashboard with all data in one place

How to make your workday less annoying

By automating processes, integrating systems, and eliminating unnecessary steps, you make your workday easier and smarter. Less hassle, less frustration, and more time to simply do your job can make your day a lot more pleasant.

The first step is taking inventory: What tasks do you repeat daily, weekly, or monthly? Think of sending reports, scheduling appointments, processing requests, or compiling overviews. You’ll often discover that 20–30% of your work consists of repetitive steps.

Next, team up with a developer or digitalization partner to find solutions:

Can we automate this?
For example, a form that instantly creates a task, an API integration with your accounting software, or a script that automatically generates reports.
Can we connect systems?
So you don’t have to constantly switch between tools, and data flows automatically from A to B (and ideally to C too).
Can we simplify or centralize the tasks?
Think of a dashboard where you can see and do everything, without five login screens or six different tabs.

Even small tweaks can bring huge improvements. Sometimes it’s a single smart trigger or workflow that makes the difference between “sighing as you open your laptop” and “happily getting to work.”

Why this won’t change by itself

Most inefficiencies at work are unnoticed. It’s those 10 seconds here, 2 minutes there, scattered throughout your day. But add that up over a week. A month. A year. Many organizations stick to cumbersome processes because the system “kind of works.” But that doesn’t mean it works well. If you know things can be faster, smarter, and easier, why wouldn’t you make the change?

What do we do?

At Rocksolid, we build custom software that works for you. We look at how you work, identify the detours, and figure out how to automate or streamline them. No generic software you need to adapt to, but smart tools that adapt to you.

A better workday?

More time saved from retyping, excessive clicking, or starting over.
Fewer mistakes. No more accidentally entering the wrong data or skipping steps.
More clarity. Everything in one system, one workflow, no loose ends.
Work flows without interruptions, distractions, or irritation.

Fewer clicks. More productivity.
