I struggle with this too. Keeping my word is important to me. I am very careful with volunteer commitments. I no longer sit on boards. I choose to volunteer for 1 day or 2 day events at most for various organizations that mean something to me. I seem to always follow the same pattern. A day or two before, I wished I did not have that commitment (because I love having free time and I am an introvert). However, each time I get there, within 10-15 minutes, I am happy to be there. I'm energized by the event and the people. At the end of the event, I feel good about having contributed.
