That sounds a bit Buzz Lightyear doesn’t it. It probably isn’t nearly that cool though sadly. Automating doing stuff on your iPhone doesn’t have the same appeal as being Buzz Lightyear. Anyway, back to the subject in hand. I do post about this from time to time. I mention stuff about automating and how it can save time and get things done quicker etc. However, I’m not entirely good at practicing what I preach. My own experiments in automation haven’t been as fruitful. But I plan to change things over the next few weeks and months.

My plan is to find ways of automating things that I actually need to do rather than just automating stuff that seems cool. I also want to only automate when the process of automation doesn’t take so much time to set up that it actually outweighs the time saved in automating whatever it is I wanted to do. Does that make sense?

I’d also like to automate across platforms, into the real world where possible with stuff like WEMO, and find ways to get things done that make sense for me. That’s the plan anyway. I’ll be posting about what works, what doesn’t, what I just don’t get at all, and the stuff I find useful along the way. I hope that it’ll help me or rather, motivate me to get on with it, and it might be useful for one or two people out there too. We shall see.
