It's wild that I read this post today. This topic has been on my mind a lot lately.

At the beginning of 2025, I decided to become more involved in the community, primarily through my HR expertise. I ended up oversubscribing and have paid the price all year. I took on a Board of Directors role, a volunteer director of programming role, and two HR mentees as well as joined an HR community of practice 😵‍💫.

For 2026, I am going to stick with the board of directors role since it's a 2-year commitment and leave it at that!

It’s funny how often this happens, but I can’t tell you how much I needed to read this today. I love thorough and practical way you break it all down. After reading this, I’m genuinely looking forward to reading more of your content

I resonate with your experience since it happens to me as well. Synchronicities are not a joke :) So glad you found the post useful. And thank you for restacking :)
