“Wait… you reduced your workload by 80% with AI and automation?”

Yes.

And I can prove it.

One of my workflows used to take 10 hours each time, and I ran it three times a week.

Now?

It’s down to about 3 hours.

And most of that runs in the background while I do other things.

Scale that across dozens (or hundreds) of workflows in a business, and the impact is mind-blowing.

That’s exactly what I’ve been building in this YouTube automation series.


Why This Matters

Most creators waste hours on repetitive YouTube tasks: uploading files, tweaking metadata, fixing thumbnails, updating links.

The result?
❌ Slower publishing
❌ Constant context switching
❌ Burnout from tasks that add no creative value

This series flips that.

By combining Notion + Google Drive + automation, you get a workflow that runs itself — so you only focus on what matters


✅ Recording your video
✅ Editing it
✅ Publishing it

Everything else?

Automated.


This Episode (Thumbnails on Autopilot)

In this video, you’ll learn:


• How to extend your Notion video tracker to handle thumbnail status updates
• The exact workflow to automatically update YouTube thumbnails in seconds
• How to use Google Drive + N8N to upload images straight into YouTube
• Why “status-driven automation” keeps your whole process running smoothly
• How tiny time-savers (2–3 minutes here and there) compound into hours freed every week


Here's Why It Works

We’re not just hacking together tools.

We’re building an entire system where:

  • Notion is the command center
  • Google Drive organizes itself
  • Automations do the repetitive work

When you clear out this busywork, you unlock:
✅ Hours of focus time every week
✅ More energy for storytelling, strategy, and creativity
✅ A workflow that scales without adding staff
✅ A business that compounds in efficiency the more you automate


Why This Is Urgent (Don’t Put This Off)

Each small inefficiency adds up.

A couple of wasted minutes per video doesn’t sound like much... until you’re producing weekly content.

Multiply that across months and years, and it’s hundreds of hours lost.

By automating now, you’re reclaiming that time before it compounds into chaos.
