Recently I read about the Wealth&Giving trick by Foster Hibbard, follower of the post Great Depression self-help guru Napoleon Hill; a little magic to get into an abundance mindset. The trick is dead simple: for every euro that gets into your hands you shall hoard and give away fixed percentages; v.g. for every 100€ you get, no matter how you get them, put 5€ in your wealth chest and give away another 5€.
The giving part is really nice. For some one like me using mostly Free/Libre/Open Source for most of my bussiness, this trick is a clear tip to contribute back some of my earnings. Thanks to this I’m getting into the habit of sending a donation to the project I feel most contributed to my work on the last month (thank Aquamacs!).
To help on the accounting I’m using a Dashboard widget. With the multipliers configured I use the Income box to calculate my Wealth & Giving contributions.
