The Boring Work That Eats Your Freelance Hours (And How I Automate It Away)

You're a freelancer. You're good at what you do. But every week, somewhere between 3 and 6 hours disappear into things that have nothing to do with your actual work: Generating invoices. Again. In the same format. For the third client this month. Chasing a client who hasn't paid. Again. Politely. Still. Copying data from one spreadsheet to another because the client's PM tool doesn't export the right format. Renaming 80 files before sending a deliverable. Writing the same status update email, slightly reworded. None of this is your job. All of it takes time. And if you're billing by the hour, it's time you can't charge for. What I Do I build small automation scripts for freelancers and small teams. Targeted. Single-purpose. Delivered fast. Not enterprise software. Not a SaaS with a monthly subscription. Just a Python or shell script that does the exact annoying thing you need done, packaged so you can run it yourself. Some examples of what I've built or can build: Invoice Generation ($
