Dealing with long work hours

[tearsofjoy]

Hey guys. I started a new job a few months ago and the nature of the job involves very long hours (often till midnight during the week). A few months have already passed and it often feels like I get through the week and the weekend is simply a time to recover and get ready for the next week.

I want to make a more concerted effort to game but it seems like finding/making time is becoming an issue. Wanted to see if any of you guys have gone through something similar and have advice for making sure I make that time to game.

Man I was talking about this in the chat haha

As someone who has finished their degree and has started working, committing 40-50 hours to work and finding time to game is tough.

It's just one of those situations where you just have to be disciplined and very STRICT on how you use your free time tbh

There's no easy way, you've just got to be disciplined

Yeah man I think there's no two ways about it. Like you said, just gotta be committed and make that time I guess. It's been a big switch from being in college to working full-time hours and trying to make time to game.

I'm thinking of maybe designating certain hours each weekend to just go out and do some daygame. Would love to hear if people on here have any other tips on blocking out that time.

Im definitely on my journey to becoming a better seducer. There are topics on GC that Im not yet capable of sharing any real insight on. However when it comes to being Conscious, this is a topic I am 100% confident I can share some wisdom on. There are things I understand and can teach that can...

You will need this to achieve the balance you are looking for. This is an area I am an expert on.... not too many people in this world who have my level of competence in Conscientiousness among other factors.

After reading, you can ask me further questions and I will be happy to answer.

You work till midnight? How many hours per day or per week is the job?

SO I'll assume you are a CPA and it's Tax season. For 4 months you go balls to the wall 80 hours a day when you are starting out. It is the way of the world. Don't expect to meet a lot of women and spent time wooing them over multiple dates. Pick a couple nights you can hit the bars and clubs late, get a closing time special, have your ONS, and move on. Let the ones you like know what your deal is and that by May, things will even out...

Better yet, get a FWB in the off season in a different firm, hell a different town and use each other for release during Tax season.

You just have to be ruthless with your time management. And lower your "standards" accordingly.

Hey man thanks for linking me to this. Enjoyed reading through your posts and it got me thinking about a few ways in which I can manage my time better and be more deliberate about making time for the things I want to do.

So things have a chilled out a little bit but a typical day for me often starts around 9 AM and involves working up until 10-10:30 with about a two hour break in the evening for dinner/working out. Thankfully, I don't really have to work on the weekends so that time is for me. Now that I'm a few months into the job, I think I'm getting a better idea of when I can expect more free time, so I think the next step is being more deliberate about making time for daygame/seduction.

After a bit of introspection, I'm feeling like maybe I'm just using these long work hours as an excuse to not get out there and talk to women. That's something I need to work on.

Honestly, once you've been there long enough to learn what you need and be able to put that on a resume, I'd find a new job. I've been there, done the 85-95 hr weeks in my 20s and it wasn't worth it and left virtually no time for game given I worked most weekends.

Is it possible to work from home in your field?

 

[MuST0BtA1NSkR1Lla]

Yeah tell me if you come to a good answer. I’m off work currently which has been amazing as I’ve had more free time then ever. And still getting paid.

The issue I regretted and maybe this is wrong is never taking a vacation for most of my life. Make sure you are getting three weeks of vacation minimum otherwise you’ll be miserable as I’ve found out later in life.

The other issue with game Ive found is finding stuff where it’s both busy enough to go out and game as well as being fun. I am just as happy to sit at home and read a book then I am to go to the library and read a book for the off chance I can go run some game.

And why wouldn’t I be the house itself retails for a million bucks, if I was never around the house would it really be worth the money to pay into it?

Lastly game is time consuming by its nature. Last week I was out Tuesday night, showed up to the club was dead. Went to a bar, then the casino, then another bar then back to the club and winged for my friend bringing a chick home. And that took six fuckin hours on a Tuesday. I was also hung over until Thursday.

Sedfast advice back in the day came to the conclusion that you should aim to find a hobby or and a job that allows you to meet hot women and the job does the work itself. Some of the common ideas that are thrown about involve these things;

- Charity Dinner organizer/Attendee

- Promotor for clubs/bars

- Church hilariously *[If she is really devout she’ll let you stick it up her ass]

- Something with pets but I hate pets

- Volunteering *[This one is the one I doubt the most]

I totally agree man and that's kind of the situation I'm in. I need to put in 1-2 years at this company and get that on my resume, so I can dip and find a more 9-5 type of job.

Sometimes it is but honestly I would be more miserable if I did that. Currently, I get to interact with my team in the office and we work long hours together. If it was just me at home, it would still be the same hours but I would be miserable.

Yeah, you make a lot of good points here. Definitely agree on the time-consuming aspect. I went out last night and didn't get home until 2/2:30 and had a hung over that basically consumed my entire morning. By the time that's said and done, the weekend is over and it's time to get back to work.

I'm trying to find some wings that will keep me accountable and also get me more excited about getting out there. That's one solution I think, and I'm trying to get more involved in hobbies/side gigs like you mentioned. I love to dance, so I'm trying to get into that scene here.

There are some things you have to do different when you DO go out with demanding hours.

#1 is don't get DRUNK. There isn't enough time to recover in the morning and your time is valuable. Downside is the drunk chicks seem really annoying when you are sober...
#2 always get phone # from women you meet. You might not have the logistics to close the deal that night , but with luck you can schedule her for a later date meetup.
#3 make your net for meeting women Broad and Shallow. ID the women who want to be flirty and talkative and don't try to deep dive one woman at one venue. Have time constraints for meeting women
#4 Make indirect approaching part of your everyday routine. At the Office supply store, Grocery store, UPS office, just strike up convos with people around you. When you do run into the goddess of your dreams you are warmed up and can go from chit chat to digits smoothly and effectively.
#5 Use OLD in small bites. don't have drawn out convo's. dOn't have expectations of hundreds of matches.
