I've dabbled with web development and done a few html/css courses but it never really seemed to grab me. The one time I really get motivated and excited about a project is when I'm automating a task. Just small things like writing batch files to automate folder creation, or creating a script in excel to automate tasks when you import data.
How can I use this?
I feel like any job I would pursue would take time to see their process and understand ways to automate it. Even at my current slow lane I don't know exactly what every department does, and since I'm in sales I don't have many daily tasks that I could condense down. It seems that every company has developed a standard way of maintaining data and there are probably steps in there to automate, but it would take time to learn that with each client.
I've signed up for the "Automate the Boring Stuff with Python" Udemy course, but felt that it didn't apply much to my daily work.
It seems like it would be a useful skill, just not sure how to take the next step.
