How I automated the boring parts of life
Living in NYC makes it easy to automate some more boring things, thanks to its population density:<p>- Drop off my laundry at the laundromat's wash and fold service to pick up the next day. There are even a bunch of services and laundromats that will come to your apartment to take your laundry and drop it back off for you.<p>- Seamless has about 100 places that deliver to my apartment, about 400 that deliver to work. You can schedule your dinner delivery time.<p>- I've had friends my age hire a maid to clean weekly apparently without costing much, or just Taskrabbit for one-off things.<p>- Fresh Direct for delivery groceries.<p>- No need for a car, so I can be productive on the train or at least read depending on the commute.<p>- Cabs are incredibly cheap here.
