Sometimes, the little lemons that life throws at you can bring you down a little. It is important to take things in stride and keep walking.

Clutters.... arrrrggggg.

I am a sucker for automation. Since young, I wanted be a designer for smart houses. Things got more exciting when the whole automation concept took a leap and became mobile. Today, I read that it is even possible to automate your life.

How does it work? Hire a remote personal asssitant in India to help you manage your work, conduct researches on your behalf and email you thick reports. Subscribe to internet services for automation in bill payment, appointment setting and laundry collection.

I took some time to list down the daily tasks I have to do, decided that I can probably eliminate 20% without damage, and found that I can outsource almost 80% of the rest.

Pretty exciting eh?

About streamlining

I was browsing through my phone and I realized I have downloaded more applications than I can handle. The ebooks alone will take me years to finish. I did not even spend more than 5 minutes with most of the applications. Yet, I'm spending at least 30 minutes a day looking for new applications to download.

This is a typical example of why my lifestyle hasn't been optimized. Contrary to my formal beliefs, I now realised that less is more.
