I have been working overtime (60+ hours a week), for the past couple weeks. With not a lot of extra time and no particular hobbies, I wanted to create a post for those that work longer than normal hours. What is your routine? As someone just getting into this routine, I find it hard to stay motivated and on a schedule. I work as an analyst at a large AM firm in a top tier CRE market.
Starting my day, I wake up at 6:30am and hit the gym by 7. Dedicating no more than an hour, I'm done by 8 to start getting ready for work. Shower, grab a breakfast bar and protein shake, I'm off to work. Normally arrive at work about 9 or a few minutes later. I have a short lunch most days while I eat at my desk. Around 7-7:30pm, I get off to head home. Most nights I make a quick meal and check my email before I go on a run. I try and get a couple miles in before getting back at around 9. Shower, catch up on the news I missed from the day, check my emails, and then head to bed around 11:30.
I rotate the days I work out. Usually i aim to work-out 3-4 days a week. If my GF sleeps over, I might not workout or workout when I get home and deal with the crowds. Otherwise, I'll work out in the morning. My hours are better than yours but I'll lay my schedule out normally if I work out in the morning:
5:45 - Wake 6:10 - Gym 7:10 - Make lunch, eat breakfast, shower 8 - 8:25 - Get to work 5:00 to (6:00-7:00) - Leave work 7:00 - 12:00 - Read, study GMAT, make dinner, run errands, learn coding, side hustle stuff 12:00-12:30 - Bed
