(soft deadline of 30th September 2025)

Hi, I'm planning on writing a forum post with a collection/summary of university organisers' experiences with balancing their degree and organising a group.

If you have any advice you'd like to give (even if you're not a university organiser and just have useful advice on managing commitments), I'd love it if you could reply below (or reach out to me if that's preferable).

I think this would be super useful to me, and hopefully, other new university organisers too.

https://forms.gle/5RKP1HRM5WiqeVY86 - quick Google Forms with some more specific questions. Thank you @Sam Smith for this recommendation!

Alternatively, you can message me here on the forum! Please reach out if you have any questions too.

quick ideas (some that i didn't actually implement v well but are apparently good for lots of ppl):
- Time blocking parts of the day or week
- Being really serious about not prioritising exciting projects if you feel rly stretched, asking yourself questions like "would it be less impactful if i handed this to next year's committee" or "if i work on this, what am i not able to do"
- Keeping in mind this advice about doing 1 or 2 projects at time. I think this applies to e.g. if you have 2 clubs to run. But, i think this applies less if 1 project is sport, and the other is EA
- doing events I personally looked forward to. I spent ~20% of my EA time 1-1ing with people cause i really enjoyed it. also running events that you personally enjoy is a good(?) heuristic for others enjoying it
