Here’s a look back at my week, 9 to 13 November. It was a quieter week than usual for finished work, but two projects kept moving.
Projects in progress
Moving the asset management plugin over to JG Website Manager plugin and JG Secure plugin. I paused this on Wednesday and picked it back up on Friday.
Making short videos that show people how to use WI1, my CRM. I paused this on Thursday and it restarted on Friday.
Automation that runs itself
A small automation posts a short daily update to X, picking up the world day for each date. It ran on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday without me touching it.
That is the sort of job worth setting up once and then forgetting about: a regular task that happens on time, every time, with no one needing to remember it.
Fixing my own weekly update
The process that produces this weekly update kept stopping partway through, so no draft appeared. It has been tightened up so it writes a draft every Friday.
The lesson for any business owner is simple: automation is only useful when it finishes the job. A tool that stops halfway is worse than none, because you assume the job is done.
If something in this sounds familiar and you’d like a hand with automation in your own business, get in touch. No pressure, just a conversation.
