I use IFTTT for a few different things:

1. Logged to a google spreadsheet when I enter and leave a radius around my work. I have to log hours worked, so this gives me a starting point at the end of the week for when I was physically here.

2. I get a stock price emailed to me when the market closes. I own a few shares of a single company (lowers my auto insurance premium, and keeps my engaged in the market), so this helps me see day-to-day changes.

3. I get the weather pushed to my phone at 6am every morning, so it is there on my lock screen as I'm getting up.

4. I get an email every time someone goes into space. SPACE.
