Realistic Morning Routine
Hello all,
Starting soon FT at a top MM firm. I want to get in the habit of a short but effective morning routine that is both sustainable and effective. Ideally, I would like to work in roughly 20-30 minutes of exercise (probably cardio and resistance training) every morning.
I think I would probably need a minimum of another 30 minutes to do everything else (shower, have coffee/breakfast, commute).
Regarding meals: I was also planning on eating breakfast at home, though I would probably not pack lunch at least for the first few months. I think these are valuable opportunities to meet new colleagues and explore a new city. What do you all do for dinner, in order to stay fit?
My biggest piece of advice after coming out on the other side is to focus on work for these two years because it’s going to be able to keep any sort of routine consistently and it will just add more stress. Take downtime or wfh opportunities to hit the gym when you can but wouldn’t prescribe it right now - you’ll have plenty of time to do that in your second or third year or after ib. Eat healthy though and dont drink and smoke
Agree with this.
There were a few people I worked with who had their routines down… they had a full that they would hit the gym at 6am unless they had less than 3 hours of sleep.
But frankly I don’t think this is very healthy and would prioritize in order of:
-> eating well (easiest to control)
-> sleep (hardest to control given lack of flexibility from work)
-> working out (there’s more downtime than you might think where you can squeeze a true workout in or just go for a walk to get steps in)
I think your first 6 months you really need to put working out on the back burner. That’s not to say you shouldn’t work out - but should be your goal to build up a great rep really quickly and get good enough at your job where you are able to sneak out more.
this makes sense -- thank you!
