RE: Some Days All We Do Are Trivial Invisible Things!
That invisible work is "terrible", because it really cannot be seen, and when somebody asks you what you have been doing, it truly sounds as if you have been doing nothing at all, when reality is that you have been doing so much!
I am running quite a lot of websites, and I remember when I had to implement the new privacy policy update things on all those pages. It was just about installing a plugin and updating a few texts, giving notice to readers that cookies might be stored on their computer as they visit the websites (you know, those annoying pop-ups coming at every website)... But, if you have some websites, that still takes ages.
And then you want to make sure that your websites are fast, and then I install a cache plugin to make Wordpress run faster. But, you have to test it, and then do some speed-tests, and maybe remove a plugin or two, and then test more. In the end, the day has gone by, and I have just tried to speeden up some websites.
I kind of enjoy that invisible work, if I had all the time in the world. But, when I look back at such a day and feel that there is so much other stuff I would have loved to get done as well, it can sometimes be hard to cope with it!
