On a yearly task with little code reuse my productivity went from 3 weeks to 3 days the second time.
In another migration measured the time to cut and paste and concluded a day of grind was better than a week of scripting.
Many tasks have a thin path to completion surrounded by cliffs on either side. Experience teaches when to focus on the critical path only vs when to take a wider view.

There's easily a 10x productivity boost there.
