Re: Limits on Team Hours

I found my limits in H.S. I fell behind in schoolwork, pretty drastically in some cases, and I had several extracurriculars. Long story short, I had to cut back and add some discipline. This included showing up to class when the instructor knew, from seeing me at the L.A. Regional on practice day, that I had a robotics competition on a class day, and would have given an excused absence. (I was also late getting to the event the next day, due to a different class.)

I know from that experience that I can't juggle more than about 3-4 major projects at any given time. Back then, it was school, robotics, and Scouts that stayed; sports and the school yearbook fell by the wayside. In college, I quit playing with the soccer club after 2 seasons, not because I wasn't playing but because I needed more schoolwork time (and another team--Aero Design--was taking more and more time).

Now, someone else might think "3-4 projects/activities? That's nothing! I do twice that in the offseason!" I remind you who may think that that you are not me and I am not you. That's probably a good thing, otherwise we wouldn't be able to come up with different crazy designs to do the same thing...
