I'd be doing less good with my life if I hadn't heard of effective altruism

I feel like I'm more focused and committed to doing good because of the effective altruism reading and participation that I've been privy to

Wonderful take on a sensitive topic!
I have personal experience with burnout and I came to almost exactly the same conclusions as Helen here did, to add a little more on it I've found focused attention is best pursued with a limitation, I use a modified pomodoro technique to make sure I'm resting an adequate amount during even the busiest of workdays.
