i start to save

In line with my previous post entitled saving money weekly, I start to save. I want to prove that I can do what I preach. So, I got myself an another account aside from the payroll where the funds will be coming from


Nothing special... just a regular saving account from a local bank.

Happy Saving!

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 Processes break down when: ❌ Unnecessary steps exist → Extra approvals, redundant checks, or outdated rules.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...

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,...

Prompt Analysis Using First-Principles Thinking (FPT)

Instead of memorizing existing prompt patterns, let’s break down Prompt Analysis from First-Principles Thinking (FPT) —understanding what makes a prompt effective at its core and how to optimize it for better AI responses. Step 1: What is a Prompt? At its most fundamental level, a prompt is just: An input instruction → What you ask the AI to do. Context or constraints → Additional details that guide the response. Expected output format → Defining how the AI should structure its answer. A well-designed prompt maximizes relevance, clarity, and accuracy while minimizing misunderstandings. Step 2: Why Do Prompts Fail? Prompts fail when: ❌ Ambiguity exists → The model doesn’t know what’s truly being asked. ❌ Lack of context → Missing background information leads to weak responses. ❌ Overloaded instructions → Too many requirements confuse the AI. ❌ Vague output expectations → No clear structure is provided. ❌ Incorrect assumptions about AI behavior → The prompt d...
