How to Automate Your Task List
Ever end your day with a million things swirling in your head—and no time to organize them?
Yeah, me too. And if I don’t get them out of my brain right away, I’ll forget at least half.
So I automated it.
I call it my “task ramble.”
At the end of the day, I talk on my phone—literally just say everything I can think of. That audio gets transcribed, sent through Zapier to ChatGPT, turned into a task list, and dropped into Todoist.
Now, sure, it’s not 100% automated—I still need to talk to my phone.
But compared to the alternative—stuff not getting done at all because I had to rush out the door—it’s a game-changer.
This is hands-down my favorite kind of automation: the “can’t forget” task. It takes the mental load off and makes sure nothing slips through the cracks.
