We talk about folders all day, but the folders are FOR something. I want to know what... 🎖️Bonus points: comment with the single most painful manual process in your industry. The best comp entries come from exactly those answers.

This is the system I'm proudest of, and it's deliberately worth nothing to anyone but me. I've been building it for about two and a half months. My goal? Free up time personally, and test and learn everything I was learning here so that I could be confident in building out things that are proper products at work (or, more accurately, architecting things for my team to build). So this system flies in the face of some of what we learn - it's not meant to have a product launch, it's meant to be so damn unique and customised that it holds no value to anyone other than me. Current outcomes (and I'm going to build again so this will improve): - ~63 hours per year freed up for me - ~ 104 hours per year freed up for my husband - ~$2400 per year saved in food costs (around $50 per week approximately) and reduced food wastage - A calmer family who are not stressed out about what needs to be done when for school - we've gone from a last minute scramble or forgotten gear about once every 2-3 weeks to one item that was a day late in the last two and a half months. (With the root cause of that miss fully addressed instantly in the system). - Three weekly runs in a row where I didn't have to change anything in the heaviest and most challenging workflow (the weekly planning workflow). I just reviewed and approved it to write. Every minute of build time has already been paid back with interest before counting the time freed up for my husband, and I'm only two and a half months in. In fact, the first thing I built paid back on the first run with me being an hour better off from that first run even when you factored in the build time. Here's how it's actually doing that: - Term-start — the first thing I built, and the one I love most. It takes a 7 day timetable screenshot and a CSV file exported from the school app and turns it into an ICS file I can upload into my calendar. Rather than manually creating it, it can apply the reasoning required over the root information and give me the output. It even has a second-pass logic built in for the edge case logic where days aren't in the CSV which usually happens for 1-3 days each term. It works flawlessly. It began as a series of saved prompts and was my first ICM pipeline once I found this community.
