Using AppleScript for Automation

For the couple past months I've been working really hard to streamline my process of Getting Things Done by implementing automation into my workflow. One way I am accomplishing automation is by using AppleScript. With AppleScript I can automate tasks that I would normally have to use my keyboard and mouse to accomplish. Even if the original task only takes me 15 seconds to accomplish, by writing an AppleScript I can turn a 15 second task into a 1 second task by executing a trigger in Quicksilver that will fire my AppleScript. Not only am I boosting my productivity by saving time to finish a given task, I'm also saving energy by automating mundane work that I really don't want to do any way. A quick way for me to lose momentum and energy in my day is doing mundane, repetitive work.
