Hi everyone I recently received advice from an experienced automation developer: “Focus deeply on mastering automation thinking before tools.” That really stuck with me. As a beginner in AI workflow automation (planning to freelance in the future), I want to build the right foundation instead of just learning tools like n8n or Zapier randomly. For those with experience: How did you personally develop automation thinking? What exercises or practices helped you most? How can I train myself to think in systems instead of just steps? I’d really appreciate practical guidance. I’m serious about mastering this properly.
