How I automated the boring parts of life

So jealous, I would kill to have access TaskRabbit/Uber/FreshDirect/etc, but it seems like those types of services only make it to NYC or SF. Living in Charleston, SC has its perks, but getting new tech first is not one of them.

Laundry & Maid service is next on my list, though. I figure, if they save me even 2 hours a week, I've already made my money back.

(This depends on whether they save productive hours or idle, underutilized hours)

You may be undervaluing "idle" time. Unless you find doing laundry to be relaxing, paying someone else to do that kind of task can have a big payoff.

I'm surprised Charleston doesn't already have these - I live in a mid-sized city nowhere near NYC or SF and we have versions of these. You should check around for alternates.
