    67. Interfaces For Humans

    Interfaces are the part of software you actually touch — and they matter more than most people realize. In this episode of Automate Office Work, Justin explores how interfaces shape the way you work with data, automation, and systems every single day. Why some tools feel effortless while others feel exhausting. Why bad interfaces create errors, workarounds, and frustration — and good ones quietly save you hours. You’ll learn to spot the difference between “raw data” and a well-designed interface, why spreadsheets often become accidental interfaces, and how the right interface can make even powerful systems feel simple and human. If you’ve ever thought “this tool makes my job harder than it should,” this episode will click instantly. Listen in and start seeing interfaces not as decoration — but as one of the most important parts of automation.

    66. Databases For Humans

    Databases sound intimidating — but they really don’t have to be. In this episode of Automate Office Work, Justin breaks down what a database actually is, why so many people accidentally use Excel as one, and how that leads to stress, errors, and wasted time. No jargon. No theory. Just real-world examples you’ve almost certainly lived through. If you’ve ever fought with spreadsheets, lost track of “the right version,” or felt like your data was working against you instead of for you, this episode is for you. You’ll learn how to think about data in a calmer, cleaner way — and when it’s time to move beyond Excel without feeling overwhelmed. This is databases explained for normal humans, not IT departments. Press play and make your data start helping you instead of hurting you.

    60. The Curiosity Deficit

    We have had massively powerful tools for data and information for decades now and yet the average person doesn't seem to be using them or getting any smarter. The problem isn't lack of knowledge. It's curiosity.
