Other problems that take time away from what you enjoy:
You're not a secretary. Stop spending your evenings texting tomorrow's appointments. Let automation handle the reminders while you focus on horses.
Every evening you're scrolling through tomorrow's schedule, texting each student a reminder. It's tedious, time-consuming, and if you forget someone, they might not show up.
Hours spent each week sending individual reminder texts
Forgetting to remind someone means they might not show
No confirmation that students received or saw your message
Different preferences - some want texts, some want email
No record of what reminders were sent
Late nights spent on admin instead of rest
5-10 hours/week
That's time you could spend training, teaching, or actually resting. At $50/hour, you're spending $15,000+ per year on something a computer can do better.
