Mental Energy Drain from Manual Trading

I run a small landscaping company, three employees, been at it for about four years. Nothing glamorous but it pays well and I genuinely enjoy the work. For a while I've kept a trading account on the side. Started it because I wanted to do something smarter with the money coming in from the business rather than just letting it sit. I'm not a finance guy at all so I kept it simple, mostly following a few rules I picked up from reading stuff online. Buy when this happens, sell when that happens. Pretty basic stuff. The problem was I was doing all of it in my head. I'd check prices in the morning before jobs, check again at lunch, sometimes pull over to look at my phone if I thought something was moving. My wife actually pointed it out before I noticed it myself. She said I seemed distracted and stressed in a way I didn't used to be. What changed it was being forced to write down my rules properly. I found a platform called BeeTrade that lets you set up your strategy properly and automate it without needing to know how to code or anything like that. You basically just define your conditions and it handles it. I also ran my rules against past data before going live which was genuinely eye opening because a couple of things I thought were smart were actually pretty bad ideas. The actual automation is useful but honestly the bigger thing for me was just getting it out of my head. Once I had written it all down and tested it I stopped feeling like I needed to watch everything constantly. That mental space went back into the business which is where it should have been the whole time. Not sharing this as some kind of success story because I'm still figuring it out. Just thought it might resonate with other small business owners who are trying to do too many things at once and running out of brain by midday.
