Avoiding Burnout / 5 steps

This article speaks volumes about what we can do whether working exclusively as #entrepreneurs , #fundraising professionals, or #volunteers. I carefully considered the 35 and arrived at a 5 step summary that quotes the language of the 35 (except where I added my own): 1. Define what is important to you (and prioritize what really matters). 2. Establish boundaries. 3. Sleep. 4. Stay active. 5. Find a hobby that let's you unplug. I challenge you - in a friendly non-violent way - to read the article and identify your list of five steps!

PND - News - Value of Volunteer Time Up 60 Cents in 2009

PND - News - Value of Volunteer Time Up 60 Cents in 2009

This news took me somewhat by surprise. Volunteer time is now valued at $20.85 per hour in 2009. That value is a $.60 increase from the previous year. While I value volunteers tremendously, I do have to wonder about compensation levels for paid staff working at nonprofits. What type of message are organizations sending to paid employees by valuing volunteer time at such a high level?
