I'm not the best at it but I do try to carve out time for my closest friends and family during busy season. But it'll be like 4 of us getting coffee on Sunday for a couple hours.

I automate my work with software as much as I can, stay organized, and make sure to stay healthy too because if I start neglecting my health I get sick and fall behind and its just a vicious cycle. I try to keep at least a few hours on the weekend sacred.
