18. Grocery run, ~10× faster
The job: After several days of use, shopping and grocery tasks ran "approximately ten times faster" — groceries are the perfect agent stress test: repetitive, constrained, and weekly.
Every [Sunday at 10am], build my grocery list from [these 5 staple meals] plus anything I've mentioned wanting this week. Check [store] for prices and deals, then place the delivery order for [Sunday afternoon]. Show me the cart and the total before you check out — swap anything over [$X] for a cheaper alternative and tell me.
Why it works: a weekly loop with a price ceiling and a cart review. Boring, repeatable, and exactly the kind of task humans procrastinate on.
