To your first point, "how one decides what a healthy amount of involvement is"

Self-reflection and advice from outside yourself. Seems like you are doing both of these just in this thread. I'd recommend talking to older adults in your life, maybe even lead mentors on the teams you are working with, to identify how your involvement can be adjusted to maintain a more balanced life.

Accountability. You need people around you to support you in the decisions you've made to lead a more balanced life. Friends in college, family, significant other, fellow mentors, etc are all candidates for people in your life who can fill this role.

Hope this helps, best of luck.
