There are a lot of things in life that I love, but those things will always inevitably come into conflict with organizing somehow. So far, the only ways I’ve been able to resolve this have basically come down to bullying myself for caring about anything except socialism, or ignoring the problem. Both seem toxic. How do you deal with it?

    Scheduling, scheduling, scheduling. Before you can organize your community, you need to organize your own life (harhar). Planning everything out ahead of time and committing to it is essential.

    You will burn yourself out very quickly if you try to do everything on the fly.

    And yes, organizing will sometimes need to take a backseat. That’s alright, just don’t lose sight of the ultimate goal.

    Lastly, focus on short term goals for your organizing efforts. Make extremely small baby steps for what you want to accomplish and see. If your goals are to lofty you will burn yourself out no matter what you accomplish.
