Your spending, sorted without the shoebox

Expense admin happens in two modes: the shoebox of receipts ignored for months, or the quarterly panic where every transaction is a mystery to be solved.

The money left politely, one small charge at a time. Nobody watched it go, so the leak runs for months before the statement gets a reader.

This routine categorizes your expenses as they accumulate and flags the ones that look off: duplicates, unusual amounts, forgotten renewals.

You spend five minutes reviewing a sorted list instead of an afternoon with a shoebox, and the weird charges get caught in weeks, not quarters.

1. Open Littlebird and go to Routines, then create a new routine.
2. Paste the prompt above. Adjust the days and times to fit your schedule.
3. Littlebird runs it on schedule from then on. Pause or edit it anytime with auto-pause.

A Claude skill or a ChatGPT skill can approximate this -- if you remember to ask. Copy in your calendar, paste the thread, wait, then carry the answer back out of the chat tab.

Littlebird already has the context: your meetings, your inbox, your calendar, and what was on your screen. The routine runs on schedule whether you remember or not.

Same idea, no choreography. The output lands in your Gmail or your task list instead of a chat window you have to babysit.
