How are some people so good at time management?
"I don't have time" is an excuse that you hear often either from people around you or...yourself. But we all know a guy or a gal who works 80hrs a week, goes to the gym, reads a book every day, plays golf, and still runs a side business on top of it all. I am not talking about work-life balance here...
Lifting and IBD
As many of you know, IBD and other institutional finance roles require us to sacrifice a HUGE chunk of our time for the dinero. Personally, fitness has always been a large part of my identity. Having played sports growing up and now lifting for 5 years, I don't want to eventually lose myself (and...
Owning a Dog in IB - Incoming Associate
I will be starting full-time as an Associate in NYC. I'm planning on reaching out to the juniors in my group to get their thoughts but wanted to hear what the internet thinks as well.

Any tips on how to stop wasting free time?
I've found that in the last year or so that I waste a lot of the free time I have on useless activities. For example, this morning (Saturday), I woke up at 7:30AM and pretty much spent the next 4 hours in bed on Instagram, Reddit, Tinder/Bumble and WSO . I took a short break to get up to eat...

Tikker: Do You Really Want to Know?
I'm not shy about doling out life advice on this site, and I'm a firm believer that at the end of our lives we regret the things we didn't do far more than the things we did.
