Successful Living: How to balance Health and Work by Ulli G. Niemann

I try to keep my routine pretty much the same every day with a couple of exceptions. Tuesdays I usually play a morning round of golf with a couple of clients. While I don’t consider golf exercise, it’s mentally very relaxing because by the very nature of the game I am forced to slow down.

Saturday mornings, it’s tennis with the boys. After a leisurely lunch with good conversation and a lot of laughter, I head to the office for around 3 hours of work. Again, I’m far more relaxed when tackling spreadsheets or responding to e-mails after having exercised.

Sundays, I answer some e-mails from home, but spend most of the time with my son doing a variety of athletic things.

By Sunday night I’m back in the spa considering the week. Usually I can say that every one of my days indeed was filled with things I had to do as well as things I wanted to do. I look forward to the next morning when I get to start all over again.

Here are some things you can do to get into a similar rhythm:

1. Try to live close to work to avoid long, stressful commutes.

2. Join a fitness center near work and negotiate with your boss to extend your lunch to 90 minutes. Offer to work a half hour late to make up the time.

3. If you have a long commute, don’t waste time in homebound traffic. Go to the fitness center after work and get on the road after the traffic has cleared.

4. If you have no other choice and you are a morning person, get to the gym before work.

Once you’ve been able to balance work and health, I can promise that the benefits you enjoy—including financial thanks to greater productivity—will have you wondering why you didn't start sooner.
