A few things we have learnt over the years; the sun will still rise every morning and will set every evening. A good metaphor around the challenges and hopes around our day to day lives, but also the fact that I needed to make things turn on and off in the house. Now that is way too much work for my liking, for which I decided to do two things about it.

Thing 1: Good Morning

Now this one was a google routine, when I say Good Morning. It does the following:

  • Turns on the Home mode on the house
  • Turns off all the music set by the good night routine
  • Tells me about today’s weather
  • Turns on the dinning room lights for breakfast
  • Starts telling me the news

Thing 2: Sunrise and sunset routines

  • At 30m before sunset, it turn on my bug killing light.
  • At 35m past sunrise, it turn the bug killing light off and the rest of the lights in the house. So that way the house gets all its lights turned off effectively.

Simple: yes. Effective: very much so. Does it make me more lazy? Hell Yes
