Stop asking AI to do the work FOR YOU. Start asking it to teach you HOW.

Remember when having a private tutor was a luxury for those who can afford? 

Those days are gone. 

With the rise of GenAI (ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity), you now have access to a world-class expert in every single subject, available 24/7. But 90% of people are using it wrong. They use it to write generic emails. Today, we are going to use it to aggressively Skill Stack.

Instead of blindly googling "how to learn Python" and getting overwhelmed by million results, you can use AI to design a personalized curriculum based on your current knowledge, your goals, and your available time. This transforms AI from a content generator into a PERSONAL TUTOR

The good news is, it's a billion dollar tutor available for free to you, anytime and anywhere. How?

  • 💃You can learn at your pace whenever you are ready. It can explain a concept using analogies you understand. 
  • ❓You don't want to learn from scratch, no problem. Use AI to quiz you first to establish baseline

  • ⏰You don't have time and want to learn efficiently. No problem, you bypass the fluff. You get straight to the concepts that matter for your specific context.


👉Try these prompts.

  • 📚The "Curriculum Architect": "I want to learn [Target Skill, e.g., Data Analytics] to stack with my current skill of [Current Skill, e.g., HR Business Partnering]. I have 3 hours a week. Create a 4-week learning plan that focuses ONLY on the 20% of concepts that will give me 80% of the results in my specific field. Include practical exercises."
  • 💻The "Simulator": "I am going to explain [Concept, for e.g., Root Cause Analysis] to you. Please listen, and then critique my explanation. Point out where I am wrong, what I missed, and how I can simplify it."
  • 👵The "Tutor": "I am stuck on this problem. Do not give me the answer. Instead, ask me a guiding question that will help me figure it out myself."

🧠This forces your brain to do the work, ensuring the skill actually sticks.

💬Try the "Curriculum Architect" prompt above for a skill you've been putting off. Paste the first week's plan in the comments!

Why the quest for perfection is leaving us all feeling exhausted?

Beyond the Juggle & Balance: Crafting a Life of Harmony, Not Hustle Have you ever found yourself sitting in front of your computer, trying to finish one last email, while your mind is already racing through the dinner plan, the unopened school notice, and that promise you made to call your parents? It feels like you’re a juggler, desperately trying to keep all the balls in the air, terrified that if just one drops, the whole act will come crashing down.  Let's step off that stage, put the juggling balls down, and talk about what true balance really looks like. It’s not about a flawless performance; it's about creating a life that feels harmonious, sustainable, and authentically yours. What is True Balance, Really? For years, we’ve been sold a picture of work-life balance that looks like a perfectly symmetrical scale, with "work" on one side and "life" on the other, each getting an equal, measured share. But our lives are not that simple or static. Let’s ...
