I always get stuck in certain loops. For instance: I'd love to figure out a way that I could build a workflow to automatically back up my ical and address book. If I could do that I could put it into my ical and then have it run on a timer every 7 days (or whatever I want). I've never been able to figure it out though.
I hear ya...it feels like there is a high barrier to entry learning how to use automator scripts effectively, but I also think if we get past that, it could be tremendously valuable...but i'm in the same boat as you...i dabble but not many breakthroughs yet
