I have yet to build a habit related to giving generously. It has been difficult for me to reconcile the idea of coming off as a braggart versus using this blog as a way to focus my efforts when developing better habits. Ultimately, this blog is for personal development, and I know my intentions are pure.
Habit: Perform a Random Act of Kindness every day for 66 days
Start Date: Sunday, 10/16/2016
Projected End Date: Wednesday, 12/21/2016
Action Plan:
- Volunteer at the RW Food Shelf
- Read 2 books about philanthropy
- Watch 3 TED Talks about philanthropy
- Watch a documentary about philanthropy
- Find online volunteer opportunities
- Find volunteer opportunities in the RW art community
- Find a volunteer opportunity with the Project Management Institute
- Complete the Headspace Gratitude pack
- Track my random acts of kindness on Twitter
- Post weekly on Wednesdays about my progress
Incentive: If I complete a random act of kindness everyday for 66 days, I will celebrate by participating in a fun charity event.
Lofty Goal: Give generously
I’ll be building this habit throughout the holiday season. Focusing on acts of kindness and becoming more active in my community should only increase my holiday spirit!

I enjoy helping sort food at the food pantry and volunteering in the class room for Junior Achievement (educating children on financial literacy). Two things I should do more frequently!

I taught a kindergarten class for Junior Achievement when we were still living in Iowa. I really enjoyed it. I will have to see if they have a program out here.

Kudos, Cori! I’m just about to volunteer for serving meals to elderly people. I also help out at my local library. Keep up the good stuff! It pays back in ways you can’t imagine, no joke!
