When major daytime soccer matches clash with your 9-to-5, you\u2019re juggling deadlines with your love of the game. Do you step away to watch your favorite team play? Or finish your quarterly report and catch the highlights later? This is the work-life balance dilemma for soccer fans.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

According to data from a recent <\/span>Qlik survey<\/span><\/a>, nearly 90% of U.S. employees who plan to follow\u00a0 matches say they are likely to watch during regular work hours. We wanted to find a way to balance that passion for the game with productivity at work.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Here are three ways to keep up with the action on the pitch without falling behind at your desk.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

1. Master the one-touch swap
\n<\/b>A true soccer fan knows games are unpredictable and a goal can happen at any moment. Yes, even in the first two minutes. Navigating browser tabs in time for kickoff can cause you to miss some of the action. If a dedicated desktop for match streams isn\u2019t possible, map a key on your keyboard to trigger a seamless transition using the \u201cWatch game live\u201d Smart Action in the <\/span>Logi Options+ app<\/span><\/a>. It instantly swaps out browser tabs for live match streams at the tap of a button. Now you can stay focused at work without missing any of the game.<\/span><\/p>\n

2. Tune in for instant updates
\n<\/b>Unfortunately, not all of your colleagues have memorized when your favorite team is playing. Even if you\u2019ve blocked your calendar for the match, an important meeting could get scheduled that you just can\u2019t miss. For those calendar conflicts, subtly see how your team is doing with the \u201cCheck the latest scores\u201d Smart Action. You can designate a key on your keyboard that opens a new tab in your browser so you can see live updates without missing any important meetings.<\/span>\"\"<\/p>\n

3. Bring the pitch to your desk
\n<\/b>You score deals, set goals and occasionally tune into afternoon matches at your desk. It\u2019s essentially your stadium, so why not bring that fan vibe to your workspace? Beyond personalizing your desk with team paraphernalia, turn your desk into the pitch. Swapping out your standard setup for sports-inspired gear \u2013 like a pitch-green desk mat or custom keycaps for mechanical keyboards from our Soccer Limited Edition drop \u2013 can keep team morale high even when you\u2019re stuck at your desk.<\/span><\/p>\n

And the beauty of customizing your mechanical keyboard is that you can switch back to traditional keys when the soccer season is over. Or continue showing your love of the game throughout the year, proving that true fandom and hard work belong on the same desktop.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
