What’s your light at the end of the tunnel?

Hey WSO. First year coverage ANL at a BB. Good group with good deal flow. Been getting cranked especially hard since new year — sleeping 3-5 hours a night for the last month or so (ex Saturdays).

What do y’all look forward to that helps you push through?

I don’t see my workload getting lighter any time soon, so just looking for ways to have a better attitude about it until the workload gets to a point where it’s more sustainable.

Thanks.
