How do I narrow down my extracurriculars??

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
If it really doesn't matter to you which you keep and which you drop, I'm going to suggest something radical.
You should keep either 1 or 5 and keep either 2, 3, or 4. Now get yourself a coin and toss it. Heads, you keep the hospice gig. Tails, you keep the hospital volunteering job.

Although 4 could be in the mix, it would mean dropping two activities you've already engaged in to pick up something you haven't done before. So, let's say that you should either keep the two you've already started (2 and 3) or you should reduce those 2 to one using the same method as above.
Throw again. Heads, you keep the Big Sib gig; tails, keep working with abuse victims. Alternately, if you have already created a bond with a mentee, it would be detrimental to drop it in favor of a new cause. That kid needs you and that kid needs continuity, not the chance that an adult comes along and then quits after a few months and there is a need to make a connection with someone new.

If you think you have the bandwith for three activities, filp a coin to determine which of the losing activities will be #3.
