REBEKAH LIN
Philanthropist
Rebekah Lin divides her day into half-hour blocks. Each segment is dedicated to a specific task. This planning method, called time blocking, keeps her focused and productive by highlighting priorities and minimising disruptive context switching.
Considering the scope of her work, the time management strategy makes good sense. “I realised that I was doing a lot of things but not doing any one of them well,” says the changemaker, who runs local think tank The Social Co., crowdfunding platform FundedHere and Jia Foundation. She also works on business development and investor relations at private equity firm Tembusu Partners. “Blocking my time better directs my headspace and offers some breathing space when I jump from one thing to another. I tend to be more creative as a person, so this keeps things fresh.”
Most of Rebekah’s undertakings have ties to her family. Tembusu Partners is chaired by her parents, the firm’s founder Andy Lim and former Cabinet minister Lim Hwee Hua. FundedHere, Singapore’s first Monetary Authority of Singapore-licensed equity- and lending-based crowdfunding ecosystem, is the brainchild of her brother, Daniel Lin. Jia Foundation, in essence, consolidates her family’s philanthropic efforts in causes such as the arts, mental health and the elderly.
