Microactions + skillset match = easy-peasy

The single biggest pool of untapped natural resource in this world is human good intentions that never translate into action. Have you been thinking that you would really love to do something to help other people…to give in some way…to feel that you are doing something meaningful and worthwhile…but somehow never gotten round to actually doing anything about it? 

Here’s what makes it easy to stop thinking and start doing: microactions - little bite-sized chunks of action - that you can undertake and that require precisely the skills, talents or resources that you personally have to offer. That’s what makes doing something good effortless. Even when your boss is on your back, the quarterly report is due next week and you can’t imagine how you’d ever have any time to do anything beyond the daily grind.

That’s what we’re about at IfWeRanTheWorld - and that’s what our friends at Catchafire are all about. Bring your skills - the professional talents and resources that come naturally to you - and they’ll match them with easy-to-do actions that can help lots and lots of people. You won’t even have to leave your desk :) Unless, of course, you really want to.
