Re: Stress, burnout, and stepping back

Echoing other posters - school is more important than FRC! You'll be a great mentor AFTER finishing your degree programs.

Its all about math. How many hours are you in class? How many hours do you need to study? How much sleep does it take you to be productive during the day? Do you have family that needs some time from you? Learn to say NO! Before making any commitment, do the math. Are there enough hours in a day? in the week? in the semester? After agreeing to play a role that shouldn't burn you out sit down every Sunday night and plan the week, hour by hour, and stick to the plan.

Good luck!
