> the best way to help the project is to keep contributing for it for years. to do that, you have to avoid burning out, which means you have to treat yourself well.

When I was a schoolteacher, the way I expressed this is that you have to do the job in such a way today that you're capable of doing it again tomorrow. This did not go down well and I am no longer a teacher.

I have a teacher friend who I've been pushing to adopt this mindset. She had a burnout last year because she kept putting off taking care of her health problems because she didn't want to miss a single day.

Safety first, people. Take care of yourselves.
