5 habits that changed my life as an investment banker

5 habits that changed my life as an investment banker 5. Workout 6-7x a week. Less about the workout and more about the discipline/mental strength it builds. 15 minute circuit > not going. At least 1 long workout (1hr+) on weekends. 4. Kill revenge bedtime procrastination (RBP). As a banker you have no control over your time. Sleep is worth more than gold to you. As soon as you have the opportunity, just sleep. 3. RUNNING One of the quickest/easiest workouts for bankers. The best way to explore NYC imo. Rare chance for fresh air / be outside the office. 2. Tracking/Monitoring my diet. Avoid the "analyst 15": $30+ on Seamless every night is dangerous. Prioritize a balanced meal (protein, carb, fruit/veg). Bad diet contributes to brain fog, low energy, reduced focus. 1. Protect relationships + social life. Not easy to do as a banker, need to prioritize. Would call a friend during the uber back from the office. If light on weekend work set intentional time for friends. Try to make the most of life in the city (concerts, views, etc)
