Joe Moran, the Chief Creative Officer of The True Colors Fund is a master of automating his work. His trick starts by creating a list of repetitive tasks as he comes across them and then seeing how they may be automated by tools like ITTT.com and Zapier.com. Time is a resource and by leveraging these tools, Joe is able to make the most of his. Co-founded by Cyndi Lauper, the True Colors Fund works to end homelessness among lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender youth, creating a world in which young people can be their true selves. By using these tools, their small staff is able to accomplish an incredible amount of impact.
In the U.S. 40% of homeless youth identify as LGBT compared to 7% of the general population. @truecolorsfund Click To Tweet
