Common fears about automation and how to address them:
"I'll Be Boring" Automation makes you more interesting, not less. When you're not depleted by trivial choices, you have energy for creativity, spontaneity, and meaningful connections. James's identical shirts didn't make him boring—they gave him energy to build an innovative business.
"I'll Lose My Freedom" You'll gain freedom. Right now, you're enslaved by thousands of trivial decisions. Automation liberates you from this tyranny. It's not about rigidity—it's about choosing your constraints to enable freedom where it matters.
"It's Too Hard to Change" Start small. Automate just your breakfast for a week. Once you feel the energy boost, you'll naturally want to expand. Small wins create momentum for bigger changes.
"My Life Is Too Variable" Even variable lives have patterns. Travel frequently? Create a packing template. Shifting schedule? Build modular routines. Kids' activities constantly changing? Automate everything else to handle the variability.
