Find Your Next Tiny Automation
Use this page to track down experiments that shave a few minutes off laundry, groceries, budgeting, and all the other background tasks that quietly drain energy.
Browse by area of life
Pick a corner of life that feels the most cluttered right now and start there. These groups map to labels behind the scenes.
Home & laundry
Systems for keeping clothes moving, not marinating in baskets.
Groceries & meals
Lightweight ways to remember what you actually need and avoid the 5 p.m. panic.
Money & budgeting
Small automations that keep bills, savings, and subscriptions from becoming a full-time job.
Digital life
Inbox nudges, simple task flows, and ways to stop losing ideas in a sea of open tabs.
Browse by effort level
Not every season of life has room for a full overhaul. Use this to match experiments to your current energy level.
5-minute fixes
One tiny tweak that changes how a task feels next time you bump into it.
Try searching for "checklist", "default", or "template".
One-time setups
A small project you do once that keeps paying off: a recurring reminder, a saved list, or a simple rule.
Search for "automation" or "routine".
Weekend resets
Experiments that ask for a bit more time but leave you with a calmer baseline for the week.
Look for "reset", "system", or "Experiment 0" style posts.
How to use this page
Think of this as the index for a very specific kind of library: one where every book is trying to save you ten minutes a week.
- Start with the search bar when you have a specific pain point in mind.
- Use the area of life cards when everything feels noisy and you just want one domain to feel smoother.
- Use the effort level cards when your energy is low and you need something tiny but meaningful.
- When you find an experiment that works, let it run quietly in the background and resist the urge to keep rebuilding it.
Over time, this page will collect more experiments and patterns. If something here helps shrink the mental load even a little, it has done its job.
