Okay, so I’ve been messing around with this “gray zone shortcut” thing, and let me tell you, it’s been a bit of a rollercoaster. I started out thinking it was going to be some super-secret, magical solution, but it turned out to be more about bending the rules than breaking them.
My Experiment Begins
First, I picked a simple task – let’s just say it involved getting from point A to point B, and there was a kinda-sorta rule about how to do it. It wasn’t a hard rule, more like a strong suggestion, you know?

I spent a good chunk of time just looking at the situation. Like, really looking at it. Examining the “official” way, and then brainstorming all the other ways I could possibly get it done. It felt a bit like being a detective, searching for loopholes.
Finding the “Gray”
- I noticed that most people followed the “suggestion” pretty closely.
- But, there was this one little area, this “gray zone,” where things weren’t so clear.
- It wasn’t forbidden, but it also wasn’t the recommended way. Perfect!
This is where things got interesting. I started to experiment. Small steps at first, just to see what would happen. I pushed the boundaries a little, tweaked a few things here and there. I even combined the task with some new tech stuff.
Trial and Error (Lots of Error)
It wasn’t smooth sailing, not at all. I hit a few snags. Sometimes I bent the “rules” a little too far, and things got messy. Other times, my “shortcut” ended up being longer than the original route! Talk about frustrating.
But I kept going. I documented every attempt, every success, and (especially) every failure. My notebook started to look like a mad scientist’s journal, full of scribbled notes and diagrams.
Success (Kinda)
Finally, after a lot of trial and error, I found a method that worked. It wasn’t perfect, and it definitely wasn’t the “official” way, but it got the job done. And it was faster, at least for me, in this specific situation.
So, what did I learn? This “gray zone shortcut” thing isn’t a magic bullet. It’s about being observant, being willing to experiment, and, most importantly, being okay with failing. It’s about finding your own way, even if it’s not the way everyone else is going. But hey, sometimes, that’s where the fun is, right?

Now I can combine those steps with automatic scripts, so I do not have to do it again and again. I made it!
