update
Hello readers.
It has been a while since I’ve written on this blog and believe I owe you all an update!
I stopped writing in May 2025. Since then, I’ve learned and accomplished so many things that I would like to share [while working 60 hours a week].
Firstly, through the assistance of AI, I generated money-making combinations based on my interests and platforms. I learned there are so many methods to make money that I’m excited by. I then put the methods into a table on Apple Numbers which I can use to track each experiment with.
I researched Human Design, a subject that a past friend turned me onto back in 2022. A subject doesn’t have to be true to me in order to be empowering. Found out my energy type and how I can harness it, live in alignment with it [and, thanks to AI, learned how I can combine it with existentialism] and manifest with it.
I’ve also learned how to market this blog as well as the money-making methods using Pinterest.
I learned how to use digital tools that I signed up for, how to use money trackers in my banking app, learned about high-yield savings accounts, platforms [especially ones that helped with my second attempt in 2025 at job hunting].
I also did a financial learning project where I started doing automatic savings transfers in my banking app and learned about how I can invest with GreenFi.
I read a lot of books that year: “Party of One, Conversations with Friends, Station Eleven, Is College Worth It, A Woman’s Guide to Cannabis, Abortion, Superbloom, You Don’t Need A Smartphone.”
These books talked about lonerism in pop culture, money-making alternatives to college, cannabis culture geared towards female users, a memoir of one woman’s abortion, the smartphone’s impact on digital communication, the history of female sexual pleasure, and female friendship.
I also discovered the Punkt phone which I’ve now purchased and use as my main phone line.
That past year, my focus involved exploring edtech and sales. I had the sales job briefly which I outlined in the post, ‘quit fast.’
But when I started asking ChatGPT how I can combine all of my interests and platforms into a side hustle, naturally, I fell into focusing on sustainability. Then I eventually made all those ideas and plans about sustainability.
Now onto projects. I decluttered my stuff that I left at my mom’s place. I found out how to declutter items in an eco friendly way, gaining even more in depth knowledge.
I then created numerous Apple Numbers tables of places to declutter items in Northern Virginia.
I put up flyers and marketed my sustainability focused local decluttering expertise with neighbors.
This knowledge has transferred over to finding similiar places to declutter here in Utah.
Even though that didn’t pan out as a side hustle, it gave me some good feedback.
In addition to getting the Punkt phone, I deleted both Letterboxd and LinkedIn.
Another project I did was organizing my family photos and videos that I had access to. Scanned the hard copies, put them into my iCloud folder, clipped the home videos into smaller segments, and moved all of this media onto my Samsung T-9.
During the second half of last year, I became more serious about getting involved in the sustainable mobility space.
Sustainable mobility lessens use of excessive fuel consumption and reduces emissions. But it's not just about emissions, it’s also about accessibility. I’ve been very happy whenever I’ve been able to access parts of a city without use of carbon intensive materials, either by my own two feet, an electric scooter, or by bus/rail.
More blog posts to come soon about my e-bike experiments, dumbphone diaries, and what I learned from Nicholas Carr’s work, “Superbloom.”
