The Fallacy of Automation

What I learned from Adam Sandler

The greatest sales pitch of the internet age wasn't that we'd know more. It was that we'd finally have more time.

Google AI states the obvious when i queried it:

“In the 1990s and early 2000s, the internet promised a utopian digital democracy. It was supposed to connect all people, end censorship, make all human knowledge free and easy to find, and level the playing field for everyone.”

Well has it?

I use it for everything in business but I don’t see the days getting shorter even after my attempt to automate things.

For some reason, once I spend inordinate time to automate or develop automation tools, my mind seems to turn off and not be as in touch with customers anymore…

or with people that I care about.

One of the “better” films Adam Sandler did was the concept of using a remote not just to flip through the TV, but scenes in your life that you care not to experience and only realizing that’s the point.

So take it from me, use automation but it’s not the holy grail.

The main reason you are in business is to make a little corner for yourself in the world and try to make sense of it all.

You won’t if you keep your head down.

My friend recently said, a very succesful one, “I’m a bit bored with everything. It’s all the same routine.”

It only is if you auto-pilot. Push the issue.

I don’t know about you, but some things I’m reading in the news is most certainly not to my liking, so get out of your comfort zone and participate.

Automation is only useful is if it helps you in appreciating the day a little bit more than previously.

That is the only way I can reason as to why the more automation the less is done.

And if another tech wizard pitches you something, all that glitters isn’t gold.

For subscribers, I’m going to review some opportunities using the strategies I have shared.

Make it a wonderful Thursday
