Day 26: Test and Learn... and roadblocks

Ah, roadblocks. Not exactly the guest we wanted at today’s productivity party, right? I’m deep into a project using an automation tool that promised to save time, but instead, it’s been throwing me curveballs left and right. Loading errors, image uploads limited to 10 at a time, settings that mysteriously reset themselves—ghosts in the machine.

At first, it felt like all my troubleshooting was eating away at the hours I was supposed to be saving. And honestly? Frustrating. But as I’ve been slogging through this “test and learn” phase (because that’s what it is!), I’ve realized there’s an unexpected upside: when I manually adjust things, I’m catching little details I might’ve missed otherwise. It’s not the time-saving miracle I was hoping for, but it is turning into a quality check I didn’t plan for—and one that’s ensuring things look as good as they can.
This process is going to take time. It’s going to take effort. And while I might not hit my goal of being completely ready for Cyber Weekend, I’m pushing to get as much done as possible before then. That goal is keeping me focused.

The lesson I’m learning? Sometimes, roadblocks show up to make us slow down and do things right, even if we’re itching to zoom ahead. So if you’re facing your own setbacks today, hang in there. Progress isn’t always perfect, but it’s still progress. 💪

What’s your current roadblock, and how are you handling it? Let me know—I’d love to hear about your journey.
