What daily habits do you do that have helped in your career - IB specifically?

Of course reading the market news is indispensable in business, but I'm curious to know what other things you do as a daily habit that have served you well in some aspect, particularly pertaining to IB (perhaps practicing mental math daily, reading instructional books, a morning/night routine, etc).

 

The first thing I do every morning is put on the WSJ, Bloomberg, NPR, and Economist Podcasts. I shower, cook, change, and commute listening to them. If I have more time, I read the newsletters and morning emails they also send out. I do the same when I work out or when I am working to always keep up to date.

My Brother. My Captain. My King.
 

Morning ritual(s), regardless of prior night's craziness. Finding time for a workout, reading, making yourself breakfast and a cup of coffee.

I like to pretend I have some semblance of control over my life; at least during the early morning hours.

 
 

Nihil voluptate quis et ut. Ipsam laborum in et inventore possimus similique.

Et quia ut commodi sapiente perferendis. Et quia atque autem qui. Molestiae quaerat quo expedita.

Omnis saepe necessitatibus quia maiores facilis. Sed quos similique consectetur.
