0:00.0 | When you automate your environment, your programming, your future. |
0:11.1 | Hey, hey, welcome back to the show. We are in our Systems or Sexy series because systems |
0:16.3 | help us get what we want. They help us make life easier. They help us feel happier and relaxed and less |
0:22.3 | frazzled. Today we're talking about something that has the power to transform your daily life, |
0:27.8 | automation. Now, before you start picturing robots, let me assure you this isn't a sci-fi movie. |
0:33.7 | This is fun. This is easy to do. It's not going to add more stress to your life. Automating your life is about creating systems that make life simpler, smoother, and way less stressful. So let's face it. Life is full of things that drain our energy. For instance, have you ever set up a reminder for something mundane like when to take the trash out, I have, and felt like a genius |
0:54.8 | when it worked? I definitely have. That's the power of automation. Okay, let's dive in. I want to |
1:02.6 | start with some perspective here. God's creation itself is a master class on automation. Think about |
1:09.0 | it. The sun rises and sets without our intervention. |
1:12.7 | The seasons change and our bodies breathe without us consciously thinking about it. These are systems. |
1:18.3 | They're just automated. It's what happens. This divine design shows us order and purpose. |
1:24.2 | Proverbs 31 speaks to the wise woman who looks well to the ways of her household. To me, |
1:29.3 | automation is one way we can emulate that wisdom, streamlining the mundane so we can focus on what |
1:35.0 | truly matters, loving God, loving others, and living with purpose. We know from just the recent |
1:41.0 | episode in decision fatigue, it's real, it exhaust us, it drains our energy. We need to develop systems so we don't have to decide everything every day. I didn't tell you this on the decision fatigue one, but I wanted to give you an example of automation that doesn't necessarily use tech. And it's just you can automate what decisions you're going to make about meals. So for me, |
2:02.9 | I just had a meal plan that we went through. So we didn't have to figure out every week. What are we |
2:07.0 | buying groceries? Why does all this salad go to waste? Blah, blah, blah, right? Monday's barbecue, |
2:12.3 | Tuesday's chicken chili, and so on and so on. I automated the decision. I saved time making |
2:17.4 | grocery list. I save money |
2:19.3 | buying food that we don't need. And I reduce my mental load of wondering what in the world's going to be for dinner. |
2:25.2 | We have five dinners that work for us and we have leftovers on nights that don't. Now, could we go fancy on meals? |
2:32.5 | Yes, if that was my thing. If that brought me joy of trying new recipes and doing new things, sure. But we have a lot of constraints to, I'm on keto, one of my sons is on keto because of my two sons health issues. They have a lot of dietary restraints. We don't have a lot of fun options we can do.
