4 New Year's Resolutions with Carolyn Woodard
Set four intentions to make 2025 safer, saner, and more fun for your IT staff and your nonprofit.
Now is the month to set intentions for the year ahead. We know nonprofits are facing challenges in a challenging time. Be intentional about setting expectations for yourself and your organization this year and you will take some of the stress off.
Director of Outreach and podcast host Carolyn Woodard walks through four resolutions you can make to make 2025 easier on yourself.
- Put self-care first – set yourself up for mental and physical health so you can do the things your nonprofit needs you to do
- Put organization care second – up your cybersecurity to meet evolving threats
- Clean up! – do a spring cleaning of your files, data inventory, and subscriptions
- Do something fun – take a tutorial, come together as a team
Keeping these 4 New Year’s Resolutions will make your 2025 safer, saner, less stressed, and more fun. We provide lots of the resources you need on our site – you just need to set your intentions and keep these priorities through the year.

Ready to get strategic about your IT?
We think your IT vendor should be able to explain everything without jargon or lingo. If you can’t understand your IT management strategy to your own satisfaction, keep asking your questions until you find an outsourced IT provider who will partner with you for well-managed IT.
If you’re ready to gain peace of mind about your IT support, let’s talk.
