I research certifications, side hustles, and the things people swear by. Then I publish what I find. Some are worth doing. Most aren’t. The tools below are the ones I needed myself.
~$555 fee, 35 contact hours required, 180-question exam. The market is saturated but PM salaries still hold a premium. Built a 374-question study tool from PMI Premier ATP banks while researching this one.
Free, five to twenty minutes a day. Claims range from lower stress to better HRV, sleep, and focus. Built a visual pacer to see whether the daily practice actually holds up over time.
I’m a Marine Corps veteran with a background in turbofan mechanics, construction, and operations. I publish what I learn while researching the path. If the cert or side hustle is worth it, I’ll say so. If it isn’t, I’ll show the math. The tools stay free.
