How can I balance mentoring with my work responsibilities?

Balancing mentoring and work can be challenging. It's important to set clear boundaries and prioritize your time. What specific challenges are you facing?

I often find myself overwhelmed with my tasks and feel guilty for not giving enough time to my mentees.

It's common to feel that way. Consider scheduling dedicated time for mentoring, just like you would for important meetings. Have you tried that?

Not really, I usually just fit it in when I can.

That makes sense, but it can lead to stress. Try blocking out specific times in your calendar for mentoring sessions. Would that work for you?

Yes, I think that could help! Any tips on how to make those sessions effective?

Absolutely! Set clear goals for each session, prepare topics in advance, and encourage open communication. This will make your time more productive.
