Occupation: Investor
Age: 44
Typical Work From Home Schedule (during the summer):
I wake up at 6am to get my kids up and out the door for school. I usually exercise by playing tennis, walking or attending a boutique fitness class in the morning. I am at my desk focused for work by 8:30am with a fresh hot cappuccino and lots of water with Hydrant packets for hydration or energy. I work from home these days. I try and have a window to make lunch, usually a salad in between Zooms, but sometimes that’s a challenge! I sometimes have meetings in person, a lunch or a coffee meeting, but not every day. My kids get home from school between 4-5pm and I sometimes have to take them to a class like tennis or gymnastics. We eat dinner as a family around 7pm and the kids are ready for bed around 8pm. The work never really stops, I am always squeezing in additional calls and zooms. Once the kids go to bed, I hope online to go through any unanswered emails.
