This especially is an important factor often not considered. A task can only take a minute but if it's unpleasant/tedious enough that it makes me take different decisions on a macro-scale, it can still be worth it to automate it. Like, a macro that automatically opens all the software and directories related to a personal project saves in reality maybe 10 seconds, but the added friction of having to find the right folder would make me more likely to get distracted and just not work on it all evening.
