How to set Desktop Background Slideshow - for your Financial Freedom Blueprints

I wrote an article about Financial Freedom Blueprint a few weeks ago which hopefully will keep me on track with the goals I have set. I wanted to be constantly reminded of my blueprints and find a better way to view them. Something which I can help me to see them together with the action plans almost everyday. So I thought why not have them displayed in my laptop's Windows 10 background.

There is an option on Windows 10 which allows you to group a bunch of pictures to be used as your Desktop Background - like a Slideshow. This feature also allows background photos to be switched a a preset timing intervals (eg every one hour it will switch between different photos). Here is how.

Before we begin, make sure to have your financial freedom blueprints created and saved into pdf format. If you have not done that, click on these links with the instructions on the blueprint creation and where to download it:

Financial Freedom Blueprint

Create a Financial Freedom Blueprint Using Google Sheet Template (Guide)

STEP 1 : CREATE A FOLDER ON YOUR PC

Create a folder one your PC. You can name it anything you want. I named mine "Financial Freedom Blueprint".

STEP 3 : SAVE YOUR BLUEPRINT AS AN IMAGE FILE

Unfortunately there is no easy way to do this. On Adobe Acrobat Reader, it did not allow me to convert the pdf to image unless I am using a Non-Free version. If you are lucky to have an Adobe Acrobat version with the Convert to Image feature available, click on this link and follow the instructions on that page to do the conversion.

The best and easiest way for me is to use a screenshot capturing tool like "Snipping Tool", capture the whole blueprint and then save it as a image file (eg: Jpeg)

Save all your blueprints as images in the Financial Freedom Folder that you have created earlier in STEP 1.

STEP 3 : CONFIGURE YOUR WINDOWS DESKTOP TO USE SLIDESHOW

This is the final step. Right click on any part of your Desktop Background Picture and choose Personalize

Under Background choose Slideshow. The Browse button will then appear. Click on it, choose your Financial Freedom Folder and click on the Choose the Folder button.

That should do it. You can change change the settings like how frequent is the slideshow change interval, background color, position of the picture, etc.

Here is how my Desktop Background looks like after I made the changes above.

Sell Put Spread Strategy on SPY To Generate Monthly Income

I was introduced into the world of Options Trading when I joined a Value Investing Course by a stock investing guru named Sean Seah . One was the strategies I learned from this course is called VIOS (Value Investing Option Strategy). This strategy aims to consistently make money by selling naked put options to collect premiums on fundamentally good stocks with minimal risk (worst case scenario you are forced to buy that stock if your option is exercised). Anyway I won't be talking too much about the Fundamentals of Options as you can find many free videos of these on YouTube and paid courses on Udemy. I have been selling mostly naked put options to collect premium for 4 years using the ThinkOrSwim platform and I was collecting good premiums making some small profit. One strategy I used was to keep rolling my option if it went In-The-Money (ITM) on expiration day . However I discovered that there is a huge risk involved with this Naked Selling Option Strategy even when...
