Before diving into tactics, you need a fundamental mindset shift. Right now, you probably believe: - Every choice deserves careful consideration - Variety equals freedom - Automation means boring rigidity - Personal preferences matter in all areas
The automation mindset flips these beliefs: - Most choices deserve zero consideration - Constraints create freedom - Automation enables spontaneity where it matters - Preferences matter only for meaningful decisions
Think of automation like breathing. You don't consciously decide each breath—your body handles it automatically, freeing your mind for more important tasks. The same principle applies to trivial daily decisions.
