      My working memory is terrible. If I don’t write something down, it’s likely forgotten. I’ve always tried to keep a pen and paper on me, to varying degrees of success. Now, instead I can “Hey Google, add x to my grocery list” and it’ll add it to my shopping list in Keep, or “… Create a reminder/alarm/event for…” for reminders to empty the dishwasher in 45 minutes or remember that I just agreed to plans on Saturday.

      I’m not a huge fan of Google anymore, but I still willingly use their services because the tradeoff is that beneficial to me.
