As promised, here’s the update on Automation part 2.
I am the proud owner of an iRobot Scooba. This little robot has cleaned my 200 square foot kitchen 4 times since Saturday. Admittedly, I watched it quite a bit the first three times to see how it worked. But, the fourth times it ran I wasn’t even there. I turned it on, pressed the clean button and left the house to go enjoy a nice breakfast at a local cafe. After breakfast, I enjoyed a nice scenic drive and returned home to find the Scooba sitting in the corner of a spotless kitchen floor.
It took about 3 minutes to empty and clean the parts that have to be cleaned every time it’s used. Additionally, I plugged it in to charge for the next time I use it.
How long does it take you to mop your kitchen?
Don’t forget to include prep time and the clean up afterwards!
I have to say that the Scooba is an amazing piece of electronics because of the battery of sensors contained on and in this little thing.
Now that I’ve seen exactly how well iRobots are engineered, designed and made, I’m going to get one for my living room this Summer.
So… why am I doing this. Am I showing off that I have some extra cash to by high-tech toys?
No.
I am seeking out ways to free up more and more of my time.
Any time I read about a way that someone else has freed up there time, I try it out. If it works for me and I like it, I implement it. It’s just that simple.
I don’t enjoy mopping and it’s a huge waste of time but it has to be done.
Would you be smart enough to invest in a system that reduces your mopping time to 3 minutes maximum? You should be.
Free up your time to work on your Internet business.
Free up your time to do the things you want to do.
