Every budgeting system I’ve tried works fine when life is calm and I’m organized, but completely falls apart during exam weeks, burnout phases, or just generally chaotic periods. That’s usually when I end up overspending without thinking or abandoning the whole system altogether.

I’m trying to figure out if there are budgeting approaches that are more “stress-proof” or low-maintenance, where you don’t need constant tracking or discipline to keep them working. Curious what people actually use when things get messy, not just when everything is under control.

Kamusta first million niyo? Napalaki niyo ba or wala na ngayon? Either way, how did it happen/what did you do para manyari yon?

And why?

I set restrictions on certain apps for myself so I can study. But recently, even though I know it's wrong, I still end up finding ways to bypass it. Is there a way to stop myself or harder things to bypass? Idk anymore
