Bottlenecks: Content drafting process involves switching between 4 different tools, creating significant time loss during transitions.

Error-prone Areas: Manual data entry for performance analytics creates inconsistencies in reporting and tracking.

Tool Recommendation: Implement Zapier to connect Google Docs, Trello, and WordPress, creating automatic transitions between workflow stages.
