I think the people I’m around in this community are really surprisingly good at helping me live up to my values. Sometimes that’s by role modelling it—I think I wouldn’t have donated nearly as much as 10% over my life if I hadn’t come across Giving What We Can. Some of it is by being willing to challenge me and point out hard things, and trusting me to take negative feedback in the kind spirit it’s meant. A lot of it is just by suggesting specific new things to try that might make it easier to achieve my goals—even just small things like things to help me sleep and wake up so I’m less likely to be underslept.
