Finding the right workflow for maintaining lists

Today was the last working day before the Christmas break, and I needed to finish all my open topics at work. I didn't have much creative power left, but I still continued adding new lists to listpie to play around and figure out the best layout and workflow.

Experimenting with the process

Rather than building new features, I focused on adding content and seeing how the current system handles different types of lists. I even added a little AI helper to make modifications I want, which makes the editing process smoother.

This helped me understand:

• What layouts work best for different list categories
• How the admin panel feels when used repeatedly
• Where the friction points are in the workflow

The goal is to establish a sustainable process for maintaining new lists. If adding a new list feels too heavy, I won't do it consistently. But if the workflow is smooth enough, it becomes something I can do naturally when inspiration strikes.

Low energy, high value

Even on a low-energy day, this kind of experimentation is valuable. It's not about building something new, but about refining the system so it works better when I do have creative energy.

Now I can step into the break knowing the foundation is solid, and I have a clearer sense of how to maintain this project in the new year.
