Natural Stupidity 4/X
Sometimes, you don’t realize just how stupid you can be. I mean the kind of ignorance where you don’t even know what you don’t know.

5/ ⏰ With the batch file, you can focus on more important tasks, leave work on time, and finally stop wasting your life on tedious manual work. More time for what really matters! #WorkSmarter #AuditAutomation

4/ ✂️ The process is simple: input your document info, tell ChatGPT to adjust the script, and let it do the heavy lifting. Suddenly, you’re done in minutes instead of hours. It's a game-changer for audit season! #ChatGPT #BatchFile

3/ 💡 This is where the batch file comes in. It can quickly find, copy, and even rename files according to audit requests—saving you hours of work. Say goodbye to copy-pasting errors and hello to efficiency! #Automation #TechInFinance

2/ 😅 One painful realization? How much time I wasted during audits. Imagine getting an audit request with a sample of expenses, and you need to manually sift through thousands of documents to find the right ones. It's tedious and soul-crushing. #AuditStruggles #TimeWasting

You are right. No matter which country you look at, one of the oldest characteristics of nonprofits is self-exploitation. This has to change. That’s like robbing Peter to pay Paul
The government measures you’re describing are a disgrace. Now, more than ever, it’s time to work together

6/ Got an error? Copy the code to ChatGPT, explain the issue, and it’ll guide you through fixing it! 🙌 #AIhelp #Techforgood
March 12, 2025 at 5:56 PM
5/ Run the batch file (double-click) and see how it automatically collects files. 🎯 You can test as simply or complex as you like.

4/ In the same folder, create invoices_transfer and place PDFs (with matching entry numbers) inside.
March 12, 2025 at 5:56 PM
3/ Create a simple CSV with accounting entries (real or fake), save it as book_entries.csv & place it in the same folder as the batch file.

2/ I created a batch file that automatically collects documents & saves you time. I’ll share the code with you! 🖥️ #AI #Automation

11/ 🧠 Two lessons I learned:
1️⃣ ChatGPT wasn’t just giving me answers; it was teaching me.
2️⃣ I had been wasting tons of time doing this manually. Never again! #AIInAction #EfficiencyBoost
March 11, 2025 at 12:06 PM
10/ 🔧 Slowly but surely, the script started working! It wasn’t perfect, but it was actually finding and copying the PDFs. And the best part? I built it, despite having no programming experience. #NoCodeNeeded #Automation
March 11, 2025 at 12:06 PM
9/ ⚠️ Of course, it didn’t work perfectly right away. Error messages popped up left and right. But I didn’t give up. Instead, I worked with ChatGPT, describing the issues and asking for fixes. We went back and forth, like I would with a colleague. #AIHelp #ProblemSolving
March 11, 2025 at 12:06 PM
8/ 💡 And then it hit me: why not ask ChatGPT to do the hard work for me?

So, I typed: "Hey, I need a script that finds files from different folders and copies them to another folder. Can you help?" ChatGPT came up with a batch code almost instantly. #ChatGPTForTheWin
March 11, 2025 at 12:06 PM
7/ 🌪️ This issue really hit me when I had to cover for my accountant during a crazy busy period. I needed to gather all the matching PDF invoices for processing payments. Honestly? It felt like a giant waste of time. Frustration levels: 100. #WorkStruggles
March 11, 2025 at 12:06 PM
6/ 🕒 Now, imagine doing that for 100 or even 300 documents. I hate it—and I definitely didn’t want to make my team do it. Plus, I already had the list of files I needed! #EfficiencyProblem #NotWorthTheTime
March 11, 2025 at 12:06 PM
5/ 😩 Just to clarify: It’s not about copying all the files from one place. I mean picking specific files from various folders and repeating it over and over again. And if you use OneDrive, finding files one by one is absolute torture. #TimeWaster #TediousTasks
March 11, 2025 at 12:06 PM
4/ 💬 “I see, Francisco. Where’s the issue?”

You know those tasks that are just painful? Here’s one: searching through tons of PDF documents, copying them from different locations, and pasting them into another folder. Sounds simple, right? 🤯

3/ 🤖 I built this batch file with the help of ChatGPT. I’ll take you through my learning process with AI tools—hopefully, it’ll inspire you to try your own solutions too. #AI #ChatGPT #TechInFinance
March 11, 2025 at 12:06 PM
2/ 💡 I love digging into problems and coming up with solutions—whether it’s a big challenge or a small everyday task. Today, I want to share how I created a batch file that changed how we handle certain tasks, saving time on a recurring process. #ProblemSolving
