Blessing Effect

The holidays are supposed to be a time to slow down, but I spent mine cleaning up my automation debt.

For most of the year, I had been building just-in-time automations—solving problems as they popped up. While this saved time in the short term, it also created a patchwork of disconnected systems that were hard to tweak, manage, and scale.

So, I took a step back. Instead of continuing to pile on quick fixes, I rebuilt my workflows with intentionality, ensuring the systems I rely on daily actually work for me long-term.

In this episode, I break down:

- How Relay, Reclaim AI, and Todoist now work together to manage my time.

- Why automating everything on the fly isn’t always the best move.

- How I cleaned up my inbox, billing, and task management workflows.

If you feel like your systems are running you or aren't running at all, this episode is for you.
