Templates, spreadsheets and scripts, plus the reasoning that makes them work
Five long-form guides on this site, plus five audit write-ups published on dev.to. The guides are the complete method, written so they work in the software you already have: nothing here requires a purchase to be useful.
Written for freelancers, creators, students and developers who keep a working document rather than an app.
01
The six clauses that answer the only four questions that matter when money is late: a deposit before work, a named late fee that is repeated on every invoice, a written right to pause, an out-of-scope list, rights that transfer on payment, and a priced exit. Defaults given for each.
02
Five structural decisions instead of ninety creative ones: four monthly themes, a hook bank in its own tab, three dropdowns per row, one repurposing map, and a 15-minute Friday numbers check. Includes the three failure modes that kill calendars by week two.
03
Why budgets die in the third month and what replaces ambition: twelve categories maximum, planned versus actual with a live difference column, and one glanceable what-is-left-over line. Then the same anti-bloat rules applied to a habit grid and a job pipeline.
04
PARA as a filing rule rather than a taxonomy: four folders sorted by actionability, one inbox that gets emptied daily, a project file that is refused until its done-when line is written, and a 15-minute weekly review split 5-5-3-2. Plain markdown, so an app switch is a copy-paste.
05
Seven steps that cost about ninety minutes in September: every graded item on one sheet with its weight, a days-left column that flags red and amber by itself, a five-day collision scan, study hours set against remaining weight, and a grade average that is labelled honestly as a percentage rather than a GPA.
06
Published on dev.to. The 16-line manifest, the four values
FocusDash keeps in chrome.storage.local, the three greps
that confirm nothing leaves the machine, and the two bugs that audit
found: a pomodoro timer that drifts and loses your session on
reload, and a streak that rolls at UTC midnight instead of yours.
07
Published on dev.to. Three defects found by auditing my own $4 script pack: a hardcoded 4096 page size that reported 164 GB free on a 24 GB laptop, an empty array that is unbound under bash 3.2 and aborts the run, and a PNG copied to a .tiff name with the script reporting success. Plus a fourth bug of the same class, found in a neighbouring file while writing this up, and the build that fixed it, which is the one buyers download. The repro scripts behind every claim in it are in a public repository, each one runnable on its own.
08
Published on dev.to. An .xlsx is a ZIP of XML, so a spreadsheet claim is checkable in ninety seconds with unzip and grep. Doing that to my own Student Planner found 51 formulas, zero SUMPRODUCT calls, a credits column that filters rather than weights, and a weekly total that quietly stops counting at row 200.
09
Published on dev.to. sips probed one format at a
time rather than by folklore: seven image formats and a PDF it
can write, WebP it can read but cannot produce, and two names
that look like aliases and are not. Then the four places my own
resize script still breaks, including a
--max-width that quietly upscales a 16px icon to
1200px.
10
Published on dev.to. --link-dest measured inode by
inode on the copy of rsync macOS actually ships. The honest
part is what it does not do: a minute-resolution stamp under
which a second run erases the history it just claimed to add, a
prune glob that deletes any folder whose name starts with 20,
and no check that the backup lives on a different disk.
Ten products, $4 to $9 each, plus the whole set for $19. One-time purchase, instant download, no subscription. Full descriptions and file contents.

Long-form prompts across eight categories, each with a
Variables: line naming what to fill in and bracketed
placeholders through the text.
$9
Three single-file pages for a SaaS, a local business and an event. Open, edit the text, host the file.
$6
Three spreadsheets: a 12-month habit grid, a planned-versus-actual monthly budget, and a job or sales pipeline.
$5
Three resume designs and a matching cover letter, shipped as HTML you open in a browser and print to PDF. Not Word files.
$7
The 90-day calendar from guide 02 already built, with dropdowns, the 50-hook bank and a performance tab.
$5
A Chrome new-tab extension: daily intention, pomodoro timer, a day streak, and four fixed quick links (Gmail, Calendar, GitHub, Drive) that are not editable in this version.
$5
The four numbered folders, inbox, weekly review and templates as plain markdown for Obsidian or Notion.
$5
A four-sheet semester workbook: assignment tracker, course grades as a percentage average, weekly schedule and study time log.
$4
Five shell scripts written and tested on macOS: batch image resize, log rotation, backup snapshots, bulk rename and an environment check.
$19
All ten products. Stated combined price is $61, so the bundle is
68% off that figure. Coupon LAUNCH20 takes 20% off
any single order at checkout.
