Imagine you weren’t accounting (or if accounting firms truly offered work life balance). What would you be doing right now? Eating right, going to the gym, playing sports, spending more time with friends and family, spending more time on your hobbies (sewing, bottle cap collecting, writing for a blog). I know you’re busy but you can do all those things now!
It’s mostly physiological, you get home, you’re tired so you sit on your fat audit butt and watch some low quality T.V. That doesn’t have to be the case, shake up your habits and do something new. You need to eat right, so why not meet a friend for dinner (if you can’t afford that why not have them over for dinner). Kill many birds with one stone, go to the gym and play sports with friends. Get some joint hobbies with some friends. That way you’re relaxing in a more fulfilling way than watching T.V. and you’re getting some good socializing time (hopefully with some non-accountants for a change).
If you know you’re destined for industry stop making excuses such as “I’ll have a life after auditing”, embrace auditing and use your spare time (even if it’s in moderation) to its fullest now.
P.S. For those who literally live out at their client’s auditing, I feel for you and know what it’s like. Don’t lose hope though it hopefully is not year round, and if it helps you relax just print your accounting firms logo and put it on a dart board.
