How do you balance time spent organizing with time spent on personal things? (lemmygrad.ml)

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?

I don't lmao #breakdown

I talk with my gf a lot. I need to keep in mind that I have other important things as well. I do social media blackouts. I'm going on a holiday and my gf banned me from taking a political book with me, and gave me a fiction book instead.

Overall, the best advice is to just schedule some off time. Don't be on social media/Reddit/Lemmy and do something you actually like without it being political.

I admire people in our party who can be active 24/7 but I personally would go insane.
