If you are tired of doing a repetitive operation on your Mac computer you should look at a (relatively) hidden utility called Automator, which is installed by default in Mac OS X. Automator allows you to create a workflow of steps to be completed in order and it will perform these steps when executed. This allows you to automate a relatively mechanical task on the computer, such as batch copying files for backup. Additionally, quite a few applications have Automator actions allowing integration with those applications. If you have trouble finding Automator, the icon for this utility is a cool looking robot and can be found in the “Applications” folder.
