		<description><![CDATA[Reality check: I haven&#8217;t time to keep this website going. It&#8217;s a shame. But if you&#8217;ve enjoyed it, thanks for your time. I&#8217;ll keep the site online for the time being. alt62 is concentrating now on its core skills—which are editorial. If you need a writer or want help from an editorial troubleshooter, feel free [...]]]></description>

		<title>Better than placebo?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[How effective ought charities to be? As effective for their service users as, say, medicines produced by major pharmaceutical companies are for their patients? That seems to be setting the bar quite high. After all, drugs are very expensively researched and carefully manufactured over a long period. They are not allowed anywhere near patients until [...]]]></description>

		<title>Quick guide: making your job easier</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The good people at Know how non profit are soliciting how-to guides. I sort of said I&#8217;d do one. But then I thought I could post a quick guide here, and see if they wanted it too. It&#8217;s about How to make your job easier, which is also the title of a workshop or seminar I [...]]]></description>

		<title>Trade secrets: negotiating fees</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I had an excellent time earlier this week talking to a group of people considering working as freelance consultants. Money cropped up. As it does. Specifically, people wanted to talk about how to quote for jobs. The focus was not so much on how you decide what to charge. It was more on the mechanics [...]]]></description>

		<title>Big society, big change&#8230;big anger?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Change is coming to the non-profit sector in the UK. There&#8217;s widespread uncertainty and anxiety. There is also anger. Could that anger be productive &#8211; harnessed to drive the change that the sector needs? Here&#8217;s the veteran management thinker Tom Peters in one of his short video talks. He&#8217;s passionate about anger as a source [...]]]></description>

		<title>Meetings, lovely meetings</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s a bad idea to schedule automatic regular meetings. So some people argue. They distract people  from potentially productive work. They&#8217;re likely to end up as mere &#8220;posting&#8221; or information-sharing sessions. They are often massively resented by staff. There&#8217;s a good short discussion of them on this 99% blog post. First up is a solid [...]]]></description>

		<title>Easy as peeling peas</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Professional chefs don&#8217;t peel and chop an onion, get it sweating in a pan, then scratch their heads and think about preparing garlic, peppers, mushrooms or whatever to go with it. They know what ingredients and equipment a dish needs. They get them ready before they start. (Or get someone else to do it.) They [...]]]></description>

		<title>Take back your lunch</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A tweeter asking for recommendations for good places for lunch reminded me of the wonderful &#8220;take back your lunch&#8221; movement. As Tony Schwartz of the Energy Project says, &#8220;We&#8217;re meant to move between spending energy, which we&#8217;re really good at, and renewing energy, which we don&#8217;t do enough of.&#8221; So have lunch. If you&#8217;re not [...]]]></description>

		<title>Unhooking from email</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Does this sound familiar? When you finish one task, you might find yourself opening up your inbox to see what&#8217;s waiting. You&#8217;re checking email because you&#8217;re not sure what to do next – and emails provide a convenient excuse not to think. How about checking emails because you want something to brighten up your day? [...]]]></description>

		<title>How much did that meeting cost?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Imagine a clock designed for meetings. It tells the time, which is handy. But it also keeps a running tally of the cost of the meeting in staff salaries. As the minutes tick away, so the total sum rises. It&#8217;s a thought that must have occurred zillions of times to people as they see highly-paid [...]]]></description>
