What to automate vs. what to keep human:
Don't automate your core competency.
Automate your admin tax.
If you're a freelance designer, don't build an AI to design your logos. Build an AI to handle client invoicing, schedule feedback calls, and chase late payments.
Real work is judgment, strategy, and creativity.
Everything else is just logistics.
Hoard your energy for the work only you can do. Outsource the rest to the machine.
