The Daily Drip
I work on social impact projects a lot.
In fact, I've basically spent my entire career trying to make the world a little better.
One of my weaknesses is that I sometimes make dramatic personal sacrifices to make projects work.
This can sometimes move the needle, but most of the time, it just leads to my own burnout.
My mom used to say this all the time but for some reason, I never listened:
"You have to put the oxygen mask over yourself first. Then you can help others put on their oxygen masks."

Plain and simple with biological reasoning included.
