Optimal returns

What does finance teach you? When you have limited resources, you invest only in things you are certain to return optimal level of results to you.

In a resolution to have proper sleep despite my crappy work load, I've recently adopted the habit of concussing at 10pm and waking up at 3am to do work. According to a health site, those 5 golden hours do you more wonder than sleeping at 2am and waking up at 7am for work. Commuting in the morning is used for news reading on the BB and catching up with friends over BBM and Whatsapp. Commuting at the end of the day is used for reading of reports and squeezing in meagre pieces of CFA information.

To make my gym membership fee worth it, I devote 3 sessions a week (unless I am flying) - at twice on weekdays and once on weekend. If it means leaving work to run for an hour, shower and come back to office, yes that is what I do. In between walking from office to gym and back, are the meagre amount of time I used to catch up with my friends via (same) BBM and Whatsapp (since they are leaving office).

Lunch sessions are used to catch up with friends which unfortunately I have no choice to meet up during weekends. Dinners I try to be home so my mum doesn't complain she hasn't seen me in a while because I'm always flying.

Have scrapped my Sunday studying plans i order to at least devote one full day to spending it with my family at my Grandma's. But of course it means bringing them CFA notes to study at my Grandma's. But at least well, I could still converse with them during my tea break and study break. 

I have 5 days of leave to clear before March ends. I have a feeling they are all going to be filled with CFA studying and clearing of reports.

It is hard work I admit. But it's essential I guess. If I want to maintain all shares of my life intact, albeit the huge increase in workload.

Meh.
