Most of my day is spent switching contexts.
A bit of frontend work, then reviewing a doc, then replying to someone who needs a quick asset tweak. Somewhere in between, I often need to convert a file — an image, a document, sometimes just checking if a format will work.
For a long time, I treated this as a “proper” problem. Scripts, libraries, local tools. That works, but it also adds friction where none is needed.
At some point, I realized these conversions aren’t part of the core workflow. They’re just small interruptions. When that’s the case, the simplest path is usually enough.
Now, if I just need to quickly convert a file or verify a format before continuing real work, I use a lightweight web tool like https://fastconvert.ai/
, finish the check, and move on.
No setup, no decisions. Just removing a small blocker and getting back to what actually matters.
