It is crucial to make sure that your personal needs are met before going out helping everyone else with theirs. Just like on an airplane, you need to put on your oxygen mask before putting on the mask of the person next to you. Setting aside time for the things that bring you joy and fill up your cup are imperative to your success. It is easy to cut out the things that you want to do when the stress starts piling up. But making sure that your cup is full will help in productivity and your mental well being so that you can check all the items off of your to-do list with more ease.
