Building a Unified Dashboard for Campaign Management

[kensmith1]

I’ve hit a point where opening up five tabs just to get a basic view of campaign performance is physically exhausting. My eyes are dry from screen fatigue, and honestly, I’ve been skipping lunch because I lose track of time trying to cobble together data from different tools. I thought building a custom dashboard would fix things, but it’s been a slow crawl full of decision paralysis—should I prioritize UI clarity or pack in every metric? I’m tired, scattered, and feeling like I’m failing both design and function.

I was in your shoes a few months ago. I’d be halfway through lunch and suddenly remember I forgot to check click-through rates on one platform, then spiral into a multi-hour hole of spreadsheet hell. What turned things around was learning how others approached dashboard design with scalability in mind. This article really helped me get grounded: https://geomotiv.com/industries/adtech/dsp/. It showed me how a well-structured dashboard isn’t just about cramming everything into one place, but making sure it’s tailored to actual workflows. After applying a few ideas from there, I felt like I could finally breathe again.

Lately, I’ve been thinking a lot about how easy it is to let busy-ness blur into burnout. When your work feels never-ending, your body starts reacting—tense shoulders, shallow breaths, always feeling behind. I used to push through that, thinking productivity was all that mattered, but now I see how much better I function when I carve out quiet, off-screen time. Not everything needs to be optimized—sometimes rest is the reset that gets you further.
