Automation

As I am taking more and more onto my plate in this transition I am trying to find ways to automate what I can in my life.  I have identified several areas where the technology is there.  As I automate different processes I will post what and how so that others can simplify their lives.

Things I will be automating:

Finances 
    Paycheck
    Bill payments
   Credit card payments
   Money into savings plans

Online presence
    Cross posting to different platforms
    Better organizing of email

Quantified self
     I found a great site called RunKeeper that connects with my sleep tracking, food journal, and fitness apps     and graphs out the metrics.  I'm glad that I don't have to keep that all on a spreadsheet of my own.

I'm at a loss for what else I can easily and cheaply automate at the moment.  I think my first DIY project will be an automatic cat feeder machine with Rasberry Pi.  Other than that I would love some input on what to automate next.
