Workflow
A client handoff repeats every week, but inputs live across email, docs, and memory.
5 Hours Back
See how messy repeated work gets broken down.
A free newsletter where readers submit frustrating workflows and I break down the trigger, leak, fix options, and what I would avoid building too early.
Free to read. No tool hype. Private workflow help is lower on the page.
Example breakdown seed.
The newsletter starts with ordinary repeated work, then narrows toward the part worth changing.
Likely leak
The owner is still the routing layer, so follow-up depends on manual checks.
Breakdown
Clarify the trigger, owner, source material, handoff, and whether AI should draft, summarize, or stay out.
Reader submissions
Have a workflow you keep avoiding? Send it in.
I use a similar process to the paid sprint: clarify the inputs, outputs, repeat pattern, current workaround, and where AI, automation, process, or delegation might help.

Want private help instead?
Choose the offer that fits the workflow.
The newsletter is public and selective. Use a private offer when the workflow needs direct attention, a written plan, or a business case for what to fix next instead of waiting for a public breakdown.
