Tips for balancing work life with tennis

[Omair]

Is there any audit trainee student out there on this forum? He will definitely understand my feelings. Deadline jobs almost all the time and working late hours till 1am in the morning and then having to be in office at 8:30am the next morning, and as if this was not enough, the cherry on the cake is weekends on as well.

I hate it literally since I miss so much of tennis I had to reduce my sleep time to 2 to 3 hours per day during the Aussie Open and it seems like I will have to do the same during Wimbledon.

Any tips for balancing this thing? or any tips on how can I watch matches afterwards? I can't watch matches at work, since there is loads of work to be done. I would really appreciate any tips.

Sorry for all the complaining about late working hours but I guess I had to let it out. So any tips please?

I miss loads of matches with work unfortunately but stayed on late all last week and will this week too to build up time for time so I'll take 2 days off not next week but the following week without using hols. Hardly going to miss Fed v Nadal or the men's semis but will likely miss a lot of week one unfortunately. If Haas makes to meet Djokovic I hope I get to see that too. But yeah, it sucks to miss a lot of the big tournaments.

I use my DVR to record matches, then watch them later if I can't see them live.

The potential problem with this, though, is learning the results before watching the matches. I have to avoid the internet and live TV, which can be tricky, but I NEVER want to know the results before seeing them.

On top of all that, I have to find time to play at least 3-4 times a week, otherwise I feel ...bad. Work, watch, play...life of a fan is not easy...

I watch a lot of replays, which I will be doing tonight. Stuck in the library today, apparently missing an incredible upset!

The radio broadcasts from the slams aren't bad...I can usually get some work done while listening (a lot better than half watching the scoreline, i find that even more aggravating than not watching).
