Work never stops, my friend

Problem Statement

my current daily grind:

  • 9 to 5 job (sometimes overtime)
  • college
  • studying
  • gym
  • chores
  • dating
  • gaming (ofc)

since my daily load is pretty heavy, i end up forgetting a lot of stuff, like:

  • forgot to log expenses
  • forgot to submit work task / college task
  • forgot i ran out of clean clothes (haven't done laundry)
  • forgot my girlfriend's lunch box

so i use tools to deal with my forgetfulness

  1. Actual Budget: for expenses
  2. Trello: for college/work tasks
  3. Todoist: for daily tasks (mostly chores)
  4. Notion: for daily logs

but all those tools are still manual

you have to open different apps manually, which makes it hard to stay consistent

Hermes

hermes helps me integrate and automate everything without a complicated setup.

why did i pick it over OpenClaw? because:

  1. self-improving autonomous AI agent
  2. lightweight (very ofc)

Workflow

hermes agent workflow

Review

so far so good

the downside is the output can't be exactly 100% standardized with just a simple setup, but i get it, ai is non-deterministic

but for a daily basis reminder, overall totally worth it
