I have a gaming schedule that I refuse to compromise on.
Is there a reason you don't want to compromise?
I didn't have time to play for one week. It was hell
Making time to game and taking care of other responsibilities is key. It's all about finding balance and you should make time to game, as it's something that makes you happy.
I'm going to be happy. I'll do it my own way.
Again, gaming is great, but some compromise might be needed as you probably have other responsibilities that need your attention as well. I'm confident you can get it all done, but one shouldn't be at the expense of the other.
