this program is literally meant for me, the mindset / identity work is insane
yesterday i was crashing out a bit bc i'm struggling to stay on top of meal prepping (my agent had some bugs with portions lol) and missed her weekly group coaching call, which was literally about embracing imperfection and lowering expectations when starting new habits
and i'm like huh yeah you know it is pretty unreasonable to expect myself to go from "has never meal prepped in my life" to "meal preps elaborate meals every week"
essentially my startup can be described as “automated mom for healthcare”
you know, making sure your appointments are scheduled, your records are together, your meds are picked up. will fight tooth and nail to make sure you’re getting the best care possible.
unironically step 1 is to build these systems with wife in the loop, and then progressively automate
RLWF
Silicon Valley keeps building me a husband when what I really want is a wife lol
I don't want an agent that only does one-off, random tasks that are nice but not life-changing: booking flights, making dinner reservations, or buying tickets
I want an AI wife who knows what’s on the family calendar, remembers there’s a birthday party Saturday and we haven’t bought a gift then sends me options, realizes we’re almost out of diapers and buys them, knows which bills are coming up, remembers someone needs a dentist appointment and books it, figures out what the hell we’re eating all week and what we need from the grocery store, and generally keeps track of the 47 things that need to happen before anyone else even realizes they need to happen.
So, who's building me an AI wife that carries the mental load instead of an AI husband that waits for me to give it a chore??
when i was a little girl i told my mom that i’d rather hire a maid than learn to clean and cook.
while i’ve come around to enjoy cleaning and cooking, i’m still very passionate about automating the mentally taxing and mundane parts of managing a household.
i've hooked it up to my calendar so it can see when i've scheduled meal prep + eating out during the week and it actually goes insane
it tells me what to cook on what days and what i'll be eating each day to hit my macros so i don't need to calculate it on the fly
spent the last couple days watching some productivity guru videos and one idea stuck with me: people who want disciplined lives think that it feels like rigid schedules without flexibility, but if you do it well it feels like dancing through your days
talked to a new doctor this week who said he had an epiphany when i told him “patients don’t want to think about their health when they’re doing well”
most people don’t want medical stuff as a hobby!!
