Volunteering is good. But only in moderation.

And only last night I was discussing activist burn out...

Bah.

Balance is for wusses.

I toned down my volunteering - I just seem to work at my paid job more instead. Particularly lately.

Remember you need to learn to say "no".

Good article. Thanks :-D

No problem :)

Here's someone who has a web site, and a book, largely about how activists can avoid burn out: http://lifelongactivist.com. I think that's what they're about, anyway. I only discovered them recently and haven't read much yet. Thought I should reply straight away anyway while this topic is hot.

This person, Hillary Retting, is interested in animal issues :-)

Hey, thanks for the link. It seems like some good advice there.
