The quickest and easiest way to a document procedure for a repetitive task you already know
how to do is to create a "
Minimum Viable Procedure"; a skeleton procedure that
has only the title of the procedure and the titles of each step of the task. Essentially
you do not have to fill out the details each step just yet, I will explain.
Just like when a house is being built, the builder first starts with the foundation (<<<--- the title of the procedure)
and then erects the wooden/iron framework for the house (<<<--- the title of each step in the procedure).
Then later they add in the walls based on the framework (<<<--- the details of each step in the procedure).
So whenever you are about to start working on a repetitive task create a Minimum Viable Procedure
with just the title of the procedure and as you get work through the task enter in the title of each step of the task.
Do not enter in the details of each step.
Later on get your more experienced staff or managers to enter in the details for you.
Then once they are done entering in the details of each step, review the entire procedure
and test it to make sure it delivers the results you want and it is easy to follow.
If you do not have an experienced staff or manager who can enter in the details, you
can complete the procedure by gradually filling out a step each time you carry out the task until
all the details for each step in the procedure are completely documented.
