Summary

Anthony Ongaro of Break the Twitch talks about what to do before donating your stuff. Episode 1889: Why You Should Stop Donating Your Stuff (and Do This First) by Anthony Ongaro of Break The Twitch After years of impulse spending on Amazon and elsewhere, Anthony Ongaro realized that his one-click purchase habits were more of a physical Twitch than an intentional action.

Break the Twitch is all about minimizing distractions and doing more of what matters.
