I have a monthly recurring reminder on my calendar to update my backers page, and I had been ignoring it for a long time. I felt guilty—yes really! If you looked through my to-do lists you would see “Update backers” repeated time and time again, without a tick mark.
Today was the day I finally did it. I updated the backers page. It had been exactly one year! I’m working full-time now and I’m not as dependent on donations as I was before, but it’s still very useful: a few expenses are necessarily tied to my Mexican bank account, and transferring money every month would be a hassle. What I receive in donations covers these costs and makes me happy.
Still, I have to admit that now that I have much less time to do these tasks, so I will update every six months. Gosh I miss having all the time in the world (and yet I feel I did so little with it). Still, I’m appreciative of my current situation, I’m working with awesome people at Invopop in Madrid, Spain.
