Automating everyday life — and writing down what really happened.
Most writing about automation is a sales pitch wearing a tutorial’s clothes — affiliate links, “10 best tools,” breathless before-and-afters. Automate My Life is the opposite: honest field notes on what actually works, what it costs, and what’s not worth the trouble.
The site publishes practical guides for automating ordinary work and home tasks—researched against primary sources, clear about tradeoffs, and updated as tools change. Where reliable testing evidence exists, the guide names the cost, setup effort, failure points, and maintenance burden. Unsupported personal experience is never invented.
The one rule
Nothing gets recommended that hasn’t been tested or lived with. A real number beats a vague claim. Specific beats comprehensive. The messy ledger beats the highlight reel — every time.
Who this is for
For time-starved people and curious non-developers who want a few hours back each week and are tired of being sold tools. No coding required — just clear, honest accounts of what works, what doesn’t, and what it costs.
