New York Cares! A lot of different projects. So far have taught SAT, play chess with kids, play sports with special needs kids, library organization, park clean-up, deliver food to elders, etc. Very easy to sign up and wide array of projects for location/type/times. I usually do 1-2 hours a week on the weekend

New Alternatives for Children (NAC) in Chelsea. If you like working with children, it’s totally a worth cause. They primarily work with children with disabilities from low income families. They need help.
I plan to get more involved this year. It’s one of my 2018 resolutions.

When you say your salary jumped __x, how is that exactly calculated?

Mine was $16k (minimum wage before joining corporate) > $40k (contractor total before getting laid off) > $150k (current FT)?

Is that a 260% jump or 2.6x from $16k to $40k?
And a 375% jump or 3.75x from $40k to $150k?

Or do I calculate it by hourly rate?

Are there any good movies or novels that show skill development - like follow through? Self-management? Money management? I read a lot of self help books so I know a lot of the theory, and books peppered with examples help, but I feel like most 1 paragraph examples don’t five justice to how hard it may be to change a behavior.
