52 week money challenge: select a week version

I'm guessing you already read 52 week money challenge and it's reversed version.

Now comes another version since I don't have the patience to be steady(except when driving).

I call it: Select-A-Week version

How it works?


  1. Just choose the amount depending on what you have and what's highest amount that week
  2. Set aside the amount
  3. Cross out the week
  4. Wait for another week
  5. Repeat.
Let's take the chart below as an example


If this week, you were able to save Php300, then cross out the 7/25/2014. So, you don't have to just set aside Php50.00. The bigger you set aside, the easier it will be to save in the future. The following week, you were able to save Php1000.00 then cross out 10/31/2014. Now, you have Php300.00 and Php1000.00 crossed out. Let's say you save another Php300.00 the following week, since you already crossed the Php300.00, you'll just have to cross out Php250.00. That leaves you extra Php50.00, which you can also cross out or spend depending on what you fancy.

Happy Saving!

Using AI to Reinvent My Résumé and Try to Land an Interview

Creating a résumé is a tedious job to most. It's hard, time consuming and might even be the cause for rejection-if you don't know what you're doing. Fortunately, there are AI tools out there that created to assist, us humans, in generating résumé. It save's time, effort and you get higher chance of being hired.  But what if you're transitioning to an entirely different role? You don't have experience, no educational background to back it up. and no portfolio to show. What do you do? You come up with something creative. You come up with some that has never been done before. And, just wow them... or at least try. I was messaged in LinkedIn for a position that I was eyeing for in years. The HR guy reached out and we scheduled a call interview. We talked for more than half an hour and I was enlightened that my résumé is lack-luster. I was highly considered but the résumé is not at par because I have no job experience on AI, the certifications we're not included,...

Process Design & Workflow Optimization Using First-Principles Thinking (FPT)

Instead of copying existing process frameworks, let’s break down Process Design & Workflow Optimization from first principles —understanding the core problem it solves and building efficient workflows from the ground up. Step 1: What is a Process? At its most fundamental level, a process is just: Inputs → Resources, data, materials, or people. Actions → Steps that transform inputs into outputs. Outputs → The final result or outcome. A process is optimized when it minimizes waste, reduces friction, and improves efficiency without compromising quality. Step 2: Why Do Processes Become Inefficient? Processes break down when: ❌ Unnecessary steps exist → Extra approvals, redundant checks, or outdated rules. ❌ Bottlenecks appear → A single point slows down the entire system. ❌ Lack of automation → Manual tasks take too much time. ❌ Poor data flow → Information is siloed or delayed. ❌ Overcomplicated workflows → Too many dependencies and unclear roles. To fix i...

teach yourself how to teach yourself

how do you do that , you ask? i have no clue. it was just a catch for you to keep on reading. pretty neat, eh. seriously, what i really wanted to say is "teach your body how to teach itself". to elaborate: it's like raising your body and your soul (and other parts of your being) to absorb anything that comes along the way- that means learning it and making it stick that you don't have to think of it every now and then. think of muscle memory when you eat- spoon, fork, chopsticks, where you mouth is. you know. now, think bigger and faster: that means a lot of info to learn, and faster. next: how do we do that? this is where google comes in. but not all will be laid for you by google. you still need to decipher all the pages it presents you. but to filter things down, here's my list of pointer (in no particular order) hold on to that interest - i don't know how you'll do it. what i do? i try to learn my interests first. if i got stuck. i leave it an...
