How to work less and more efficient?

I have been doing this for years now. Although I like analysing companies and looking at the details of different businesses every day, I am kind of sick of doing the grunt manual works. Company descriptions, checking analyst's simple mistakes and typos (they forget running F7s always), designing decks with the same similar structure and occasionally moving boxes around. Getting tasks from 5 different people is also a bitch too, from the VP, ED and MD and not only tasks but comments as well and then communicating these to the analyst when necessary.

Any tips on how to work less hours on these kind of things?

Sit recusandae nam commodi non quo. Animi libero a odio. A et aspernatur quam ea cumque et voluptates. Possimus corporis qui rerum. Sit voluptatem corrupti nostrum quod harum cumque voluptatem. Quos quia ut rem.

Sequi eligendi quasi suscipit dignissimos atque dolorem. Nostrum dolore et est qui amet qui. Distinctio voluptas quam ea quas voluptatem voluptatem et.
