I’m talking to designers to understand where most of their time is spent. So far I've heard mixed answers: for some people, creating the first version of the schematic takes many days, while for others this is quick but things like part selection, reading datasheets, library work, updating old designs, reviews or simulations take longer.

So it would be cool to hear:

1. What phase usually takes the most time on a real board?

2. What repetitive task do you enjoy the least and wish was automated?

3. Have you built any scripts, spreadsheets or checklists to save time?

Concrete examples would be super useful 🙂
