Work for weeks, or think for some minutes?

I just slashed a project timeline by 85% with the same results.

All my website is built in custom code with NextJS.

We are now starting a blog to grow our organic reach.

For maximum SEO results, the blog needs to be under the same domain

And so my first thought was coding the blog myself

• Template Pages
• In-house editor
• Marketing roles
• SEO Optimization
• Etc.

Even with Cursor AI, this would easily take me 3 weeks to get it up and running!

Usually, in times like these my response would be “let’s just start quickly to get there faster!”

But this time, I paused.

I matured the idea for almost a week.

That’s right, an entire WEEK!

Eventually, I found a solution by integrating a WordPress Blog with a redirect

All it took from me was

• 10 lines of code in NextJS to do the redirect
• 2 days to setup the WordPress base styles

Exact same result. 2 weeks of work saved

2 more weeks that I can focus on actual Growth!

Old me would’ve coded it. New me took a week to think.

And that week paid off.
