The Ten Habits Series · by Dr. Danielle Boyce
Practical habits and tools for nonprofit leaders and researchers
Two short, plainspoken books drawn from three decades in the field, each paired with a free toolkit of worksheets, checklists, and trackers you can fill in right here in your browser.
Book One
Ten Habits of Great Data Analysts
The habits that separate analysts who deliver from analysts who just run queries. Practical tips, real stories, and a working analyst's toolkit. Pay what you want on LeanPub, or get the paperback on Amazon.
Book Two · New
Ten Habits of Great Grant Writers
Grant writing is not charisma. It is a set of learnable habits, and this book teaches all ten, with candid case studies and a free companion toolkit. Pay what you want on LeanPub, including nothing.
Nineteen tools you can fill in right now
Every worksheet, checklist, tracker, and letter from both books works in your browser. Type straight into the page and your entries save as you go, so you can close the tab and come back tomorrow. Tables let you add rows and columns. Checklists let you add your own items. Every tool has an Add a section button for whatever the sheet does not cover.
When you are finished, download your work as Markdown, plain text, a spreadsheet, or a PDF, or save a small file you can reopen on another computer. Nothing you type is sent anywhere; it lives in your own browser and nowhere else.
