Does it pay to be a selfless worker?

Seven top tips to help you prioritize your selfless nature

1.Prioritize the help requests that come your way — say yes when it matters most and no when you need to.

2.Give in ways that play to your own skillset. Don't waste time giving when you don't have the exact skills needed, or time in your day.

3.Distribute the giving load more evenly — refer requests to others when you don’t have the time or skills, and be careful not to reinforce gender biases about who helps and how.
