Automate Survival

Yesterday I wrote about the Interesting, Boring, Automation loop. What is the most useful thing I can automate? Survival.

I remember my childhood, when I could just do what I wanted without worries, while following a few simple rules. Eat what your mother cooks, sleep in a clean bed without effort, go to school, do your homework, help with chores maybe, etc. It was a wonderful time. But then adult life came and I started to drown in a huge ocean of survival. I need to rent or buy an apartment, buy a car, buy food, etc. Ads tell me that I should buy more — just to survive. How can I survive without all this useless stuff?

Take a step back. My survival in childhood was automated by my parents. Thanks to them for that. But then it just disappeared because I'm an adult. Can I automate my survival now? Yes, I can. It's boring during the first step. But later it will be automated.

Unconsciously, I have been automating my life for over a year. I try to repeat the most boring things in my life, and now a lot of them are automated. I do my morning exercises, cook breakfast, study English. My survival is almost automated. I have been spending my savings this year, and this is the last step to automating my survival.

I'm looking for a method to earn at least $700 per month — and that's it. My life now costs less than $700, because for survival I just need a small space for sleep and work, and good food. It's enough. For many years I thought I needed more and more. I was drowning every fucking day. And now I'm surfacing. I can see how feelings from childhood are surfacing with me.

I hope this isn't a dream, and I will share this journey with you. Stay here.
