You have a simple but tedious task that will take about 15 minutes. You could easily write a script to do it for you, but you’re unsure if it will take 10 or 20 minutes to write it.
Which path do you take?

Write the script. Then you can reuse it in the future if needed. Just make sure to save it where you can find it 😆.
I think this is in the first rules of automation. Is it repetitive? You already estimated the effort, that’s great
I would write the script if I know the task is something I expect will be repeated
