Top Articles to Date

July 10, 2020

Everybody loves summer. It is a time to relax, spending time with the family, and decompress.

Wait….

Haven’t I just been spending the last 3 full months with the family!?!?!

In any event, I will be taking some downtime over the summer, so if you’re missing my weekly blog, I encourage you to look at the ten top articles that have received the most feedback (so far):

  1. Events as Fundraisers
  2. The Top 10 Myths About Fundraising (or Fundraisers) Part 1e — Most of the Funds Raised Come from Events
  3. The Top 10 Myths About Fundraising (or Fundraisers) Part 1b — Special Events
  4. The Top 10 Myths About Fundraising (or Fundraisers) Part 2 — You Must’ve Studies Business at University
  5. Work-Life Balance — lessons learned
  6. Life Expectancy of Your Staff
  7. The Top 10 Myths About Fundraising (or Fundraisers) Part 4 — A fundraiser is likely to stay with an organization for decades.
  8. Who should be Driving Fundraising?
  9. Noble Failure
  10. People Know When the End of the Year is!!!

It is really important for everybody to practice self-care. Jessica Cloud of Real Deal Fundraising wrote about that here. Self-care means different things for different people. We work in a fast-paced industry. Sometimes we just need to slow down a bit.

Even though you have (likely) been cooped up at home practicing social distancing, it is not quite the same as downtime. As a matter of fact, you may have increased stress levels. Perhaps by practicing self-care, you might take this time to read — maybe even some of these top articles!

I am always looking for topics to write about. This blog is for YOU, the reader. I am open to suggestions for new topics or revisiting an older topic. I’d love to hear from you.

See you in a month or so.
