My favorite trick is simple. I don't "fully" automate. I partially automate, then build my workflows from these composite parts. Composition. For a start, I file all my bash scripts/notes/snippets in Vimwiki. Zettelkasten is truly brilliant. Then... I write almost everything I do INTO Vimwiki (git is for programs, Vimwiki is for snipppets. Vimwiki is managed with Chezmoi). Hence, whenever I need to do... anything... I can build that workflow out of past snippets from the Vimwiki filing system. Over time, my workplace and home workflows are automated. You know it's automated once you find a "set" composition, you use for 2 weeks straight without variation. I only bundle "set" workflows, which haven't changed, into discrete scripts.
