Every morning, I'd sit down at my desk, grab a coffee, and open my browser.
Then the ritual began.
Log into Google Search Console. Check yesterday's indexing stats. Switch to Ahrefs. Look up a handful of keyword rankings. Open Bing Webmaster Tools. Manually submit the three articles I published last night. Jump over to a backlink checker. See if those reciprocal links are still alive.
Done? Not quite. I still had to open Medium and publish yesterday's draft. Then Dev.to. Then schedule a Reddit post in the relevant subreddit.
By the time I finished all of this, my coffee was cold and a third of my morning was gone.
