What do brokers do to unwind?

Virtual reality round

GETTING UP early to start your day, having a routine, and getting into the habit of that routine are really important. What I do is a quick shadow boxing session on my virtual goggles.

I love it because there is licensed music that I can box to, and it just gets me into a quick sweat.

It’s just that act of doing something that you don’t really look forward to, but you do it anyway. I think that trains your mind.

Put it in the diary

I’VE GOT kids, which I think helps. When they come back from school, it’s like, “Well, that’s it.” I do not look at my phone or computer.

There’s always more [work]. Having kids reminds you that there’s more to life.

Social network

I LOVE spending time with my friends. I love going out for dinners. Things like that.

Even just having something at home – having friends around. Going away, even camping, things like that with the kids. That’s what I enjoy.

Make it happen

A WORK/LIFE balance to me doesn’t work. I lock things in, then just make them happen.

I try to get up at 5:00am and go to the gym. I say “try”. It’s been very difficult recently, given how cold it’s been.

No one can take that away from me. Once I’ve gone to the gym, that’s it. No one’s calling me at 5:00am. So it’s done.
