Zen and the Art of Nonprofit Technology

In fact, one of my long-standing habits is to take on more things, make more projects and have more ideas than I can possibly see through. I realized the extent to which my brain was trained to seek out stimulation, and how it wasn't so happy when it didn't get enough. I think that, above all, was the thing that struck me the most.

I’m not leaving nonprofit technology, though, just this particular role – I expect to stay involved, keep connected, keep prodding and poking, and keep learning. If I had it to do over again, I would have started a nonprofit technology organization 10 years ago. I have now realized I need to set it down for good.
