The Burning Question to Help You Take Time off from Your Nonprofit\n\nIt's been a busy week and I am back in the full-time swing of things. Why? School started! If you are a parent, you know what I am talking about. Summer is real for taking mandatory time away from the computer when you have kids.\n\nBut it's a great mandatory time away. If we try to 'work through holidays' we may end up feeling guilty for not spending time with our kids or burned out by trying to work regular hours and getting frustrated with everyone in the house.\n\nYou might say, "Just send your kid to summer camp or to daycare!"\nWell, that's not always the solution for every working parent. \nSummer camp and daycare can cost a pretty penny, your kids may dread it, and there could be major transportation issues. Plus, you actually might want to spend more time with the kiddos during these times off ;)\n\nA better solution may be setting up your year so you work shorter hours during summer, Christmas break, and other holidays. \nIt may not feel like you even have that choice to do that at this point in your life, but let me tell you it is possible. \n\n------------------------------------------------------\n\u2728\U0001f48c Visit https://grantwritingandfunding.com/ for the Hub Haven Grant Writing Resources \n\n\U0001f929 Want to Join the 2-Day Nonprofit Consulting Conference happening August 25th and 26th, 2022?
