Great post! I especially liked when you said, "Sometimes the best automation isn't full automation." It really resonates with the semi-automation system I've recently developed.

Oh, right! It's not only about tech and systems. It's my mindset. I'd prefer somethig "just working" rather perfect. That's why - I am more likely to build semi-automatic automation, and after some time - work on it more.

Also, thanks for reading my stuff! It is really rewarding, when people leave comments!

My favorite rule of thumb: Can you explain it to an intern, so they know what to do? If not, probably not a case for automation. Great article btw! Love it :)

Thanks & yes! I think that many people see automation as a solution to "how to do less" - without thinking about the whole process. But yes - process has to be simple and also - well-thought.
