Block off some time for family & gf and yourself to exercise and just have self love!!! For example, make it a goal to leave work from Monday to Friday only and block off the weekends for family/gf/yourself or leave work early on certain days to spend time with family/gf for dinner

My family knows why I get busy during certain times of the year and they understand I'll visit when I can. It's part of the job to work those seasons.
My S/O is also an accountant so we have similar schedule.. No issues there.
