Personal verses Community Responsibility

As I wrestle with the idea of living responsibly, I often struggle more with taking care of myself verses taking care of others. How do you know when to go and help another person or simply to take care of yourself? When is it best to play catch with my son verses taking a nap, or reading a book? When does personal responsibility trump community responsibility? 

Paul seems to give some instruction in Galatians 6:1-7. 

How do you think Paul would respond to someone who says, "I need to take care of myself first?"
