Happy 4th of July and happy 250th birthday, America ๐บ๐ธ I used part of today to complete Day 1 of the AIS 7-Day Challenge, and Iโm honestly pretty proud of this one. I built a newsletter automation workflow that starts with a topic, adds research context, drafts the content in my brand voice, generates a supporting visual, and assembles everything into a formatted newsletter preview. The biggest takeaway for me was simple: Automation works best when the process is clear first. The workflow only started feeling solid once I broke it into clean checkpoints: research only, writing only, image only, HTML build only, then review/export. That structure kept the automation from running ahead of me, which is exactly the kind of discipline I want in the systems I build. Sharing my Day 1 preview below.
