As with last year, I’ll be giving almost entirely to the Donor Lottery. I think it’s the best place to donate for people in my position. I’m keeping my pledge to donate 10%, but this year I’ve also created an “altruism” category in my budget for spending that I believe will help the EA community outside of normal donation-based approaches.
Hey JP, could you clarify what you mean by “spending that I believe will help the EA community outside of normal donation-based approaches”? Could you give an example?
I recently became good at hands-free input. To help other EAs who have RSI, I’m strongly considering ordering a bunch of equipment to my home, which I can then send as an expedited starter pack to anyone who wants to take a break from typing but doesn’t want to wait for some often-out-of-stock microphones.
Interesting. Aside from a microphone, are there any other things part of that starter pack? I don’t have RSI yet but I think I could be at risk of developing it, so maybe I want to take some preventive measures.
My friend’s wrist where hurting from clicking, so we tried getting a second mouse, which we taped on the floor as a foot pedal. Now he moves the cursor whit his hand and click with his foot. It works surprisingly well.

Foot pedals, a head or eye tracker, maybe a graphics tablet for less-straining mouse input.
