How do you balance your life
​
One thing I find really difficult about OSM is that the game keeps progressing even when you're not actively playing. If you're trying to be a good manager, there's always something to think about, check, or prepare for, and it can take up a surprising amount of your day.
The more seriously you take the game, the more intense it seems to become. You might find yourself constantly thinking about your team, checking the game, or feeling like you need to be available so you don't miss something important.
So I'm genuinely curious: How do you manage OSM without letting it distract you from your studies, work, social life, and other responsibilities?
Especially for those of you who consistently perform well and take the game seriously, how do you maintain that level of competitiveness while still living your normal life? Do you have a specific routine, or have you simply learned not to take the game too seriously?
