One thing my mom told me that stuck with me: You're not mentoring for your satisfaction/gain, you're mentoring for the students. If you're giving your students 1/3 of your time/energy, you're not really giving them the best mentor you can be.

I've always been taught its better to whole-arse one thing over half-arsing two things. Maybe take some time to whole-arse school because trying to third-arse school/team/team isn't doing you (or your students) any favors.

I had to stop mentoring while in school because I realized that I was paying a lot of money to get my degree and I wasn't going to be able to be a good mentor AND a good student... so mentoring could wait.
