	Remember, it is very important that you do not over-work yourself. Pushing yourself too hard and burning out is the easiest way to hurt yourself while participating in a group like this, and we do not want you to hurt yourself! Also, check on your Teammates, to ensure they are not overworking themselves, but do keep in mind, everyone has different limits.		Remember, it is very important that you do not over-work yourself.

	Different people also respond well to different types of motivation. You are encouraged to describe how you like to be motivated on your wiki profile! If you do not know, then you can ask your Teammates to try out different strategies with you and see how it works for you. For example, some people like reminders/management, and some don't want to be pressured. Some ground-rules though, deadlines are always soft. If you fail to meet a deadline there must not be any serious consequences for this. Rushing to meet hard deadlines is an easy way to burn yourself out.

	Part of advocacy is making sure that if there is no good solution, that we help to create one. While we're in early stages, our development capacity will be limited, but whenever we have the ability to, we should try to either improve existing software in these regards, or if impossible, make our own. Be reasonable though! Big goals like making an entire OS would be amazing, but we have to keep in mind how much time and effort we have at our disposal.
