This is the overview of the plan for this year. Certainly it will be fine-tuned over the course of this year.
Going from the broad to the specific, the first step is to breakdown the year into weeks. Every 2 weeks, come out with an idea and develop it. The first 2 weeks will be preparatory work so that leaves 50 weeks yielding 25 ideas.
| Week | Idea | Description |
| 1-2 | Preparatory work | Setup the main blog 0toindependence. Do research, write basic content, think of idea for week 3-4. |
| 3-4 | ? | ? |

| 51-52 | ? | ? |
Next breakdown the week into days. I can work anytime, day or night, any day of the week. But because I also have other things going in my life, it is not realistic (and indeed counterproductive) to work a full day every single day. So a week is divided into 6 days.
Finally, split day into hours allocating 7 hours a day. That gives about 42 hours a week.
To be very frank, I am not a person fond of meticulous plan. Plan are meant to be changed but a framework is still necessary.
The 42 hours, however, is useful for producing a TO DO list for the week. As we go along, we probably get better at estimating the time required.
