That's a great mission!

Watch alarm vibrations work pretty well for me, slow and delicate awakening experience.

Interesting!

That's a really interesting idea! Gonna give it a try

“Pay yourself first” is 100% a way to a sustainable giving. The moment you start sacrificing your basic needs to help others, you are on the path to become the next one needing help, imo. Curious about your “good charity” indicators: do you take a close look at their financials? Read their impact stories? Or is it more intuitive, based on your experience?

Thanks a lot for your input and the 10 years you have put into volunteering. It is definitely quite often way more important than giving money, especially with your particular skill.

Would you mind elaborating on your take about the salaries of people working in the nonprofit sector? Do you believe their salaries should be covered by the government, or a separate donor pool covering overhead specifically? Or otherwise?

There is a brilliant book about the charitable sector of the UK called “Our common good. if the state provides less, who will provide more?”. It gives a good insight into UK’s art and education institutions, as well as healthcare.

Thank you so much for sharing your approach. It’s incredible that you are donating 10%, I do the same percentage as it doesn’t really affect your way of living and enjoying life.

I wonder how do you usually find out about your local, overlooked but impactful organizations?

Thanks a lot for the answer! It's great to hear you are a pledgee of Giving what you can and also donate to GiveDirectly. May I ask how you have first learned about these initiatives? Regarding the inefficient and ineffective charities: what are the key indicators that matter to you when making a decision if you want to support a particular charity?

Clean and beautiful, great job!

Looks fabulous!
