but not so much that more is expected.

This is my problem, I've been plagued with the curse of competence and an inability to keep my mouth shut. This leads me to accidentally volunteer for seemingly easy tasks that 'only require a bit of automation.....' and I lose weeks of time.

My current task is outside of the bounds of this chart (monthly task that would take days to do manually, down to a handful of hours). What do?

Automate it and tell NO ONE. Let them think it still takes days.
