Never Do It Twice: The Rule That Killed My Busywork

Years ago I watched a part-timer in the newsroom resize senior portraits one at a time in Photoshop. Open image. Click. Type. Save. Close. Open the next one. I lasted about four minutes before something in my brain gave out.
She wasn't doing anything wrong. Nobody had shown her the better way, and nobody had stopped long enough to ask whether this was a problem a computer could solve faster than a human.
That moment gave me a rule I've used ever since: if I'm doing something the same way for the third time, I stop and ask whether I should automate it.
In this episode I get into where that rule came from, why repetition costs you more than time (it costs your judgment, which is the expensive part), and how I've used it lately to cut a 45-minute YouTube upload workflow down to a few minutes using Google's Antigravity. You don't have to be a software engineer anymore to make this stuff work. You just have to notice the thing you're doing for the fourth time and decide maybe you shouldn't have to do it a fifth.
If you're sending the same email with tiny tweaks, filling out the same form every Friday, or moving data from one place to another like a glorified data mule, this one's for you.
