Here's how you can personalize the Google Home to do exactly what you want

Life can be a little more relaxed and a little less chaotic when you employ a routine. The same goes for the smart speaker in your home. While the aptly named "Routines" feature on the Amazon Echo may get a lot of attention, the Google Home is every bit as capable of making your life easier. The Google Assistant utilizes a feature it calls "Shortcuts," which allows you to customize a phrase to say to perform a string of actions you can program in the Google Home app. It's all pretty effortless as long as you spend time to setting things up.
