What to Automate and What to Eliminate on the Homestead - Miyagi Mornings Episode-99

If you like these videos you will likely love my podcast and all my other stuff you can find at http://tspc.co

This was a two part question from our MeWe thread. Basically the person asked the following…

Automation for efficiency? Background... how to find better ways to do "what was always done", think outside the box. Also, how does one that is suddenly surprised with a manager that questions everything you do and all you have as an answer is "That's what they trained me to do". Third, how do you determine if you're spending too much time on something not really productive or important. Thanks.

Well I am not an automation specialist but I will tell you three things that have made my life better is so many ways…

1. Mechanical Timers with 15 minute increments - http://www.thesurvivalpodcast.com/aiotd-4-13-21

2. In line mechanical water timers like this, though brand is not important - https://amzn.to/3sYJOAt

3. Float valves like this one - https://amzn.to/3xsW9AB

On the other part, how to come up with a better way to do an old thing, and is a thing worth doing in the first place I think I can be of more help.
