Saw another thread elsewhere of finance people's daily schedules. As an incomingMBBanalyst, wanted to see how Consultants plan out their day/week. Feel free to be creative, input any books & podcasts, interesting hobbies etc. Also, any tips & tricks for incoming analysts would be greatly appreciated.

I'm very interested in this particular discussion.
I wouldn't say I have a great schedule, but there's one I've been trying more and more to maintain.
Morning....
- Wake up at 6am and spend the first hour in my bedroom to read for 20, meditate for 15, check my journal for today's tasks, write something down (~10-15)
- From 7am to 8:15am, Get through my morning routine, eat and watch a comedy or sitcom, read a few newsletters
Afternoon...
- I'm of the strong belief that I need a full one hour lunch. Not so much to eat, but to get away from any and all screen time.
- 12:00pm to 12:30pm is for a walk or cardio in the gym during winters
- 12:30pm to 1:00pm is to eat & do the dishes
Evening
- 5:30pm to 6:30pm is for an evening daily workout
- 6:30pm to 7:30pm is to eat dinner + do any home chores
- 7:30pm to 8:00pm is to chill
- 8:00pm to 9:00pm is to work on low intensity tasks (make lunch/dinner, work on small chores around the house, respond to any personal emails)
- 9:00pm to 10:00pm is really just my time to dedicate to any particular hobby or interest (or chat with friends :p )
- 10:00pm to 10:30pm is to prepare for sleep
A bit of a simple approach for me.
OP here, thank you for getting the ball rolling. Seems like you have great WLB. I'll be starting at anMBBas a first year analyst soon, highly doubt I'll be able to have so much free time :(
I work a lot with the US and am remote 4/5 days so my schedule many vary from others, but here goes.
Morning:Get up at 07:30 to walk the dog, get back home at 08:00 and make breakfast. Eat/chill until 08:30/08:45 where I start looking at email coming in overnight. Start working properly at 09:00 mainly to review material that has come through from US juniors or seniors and make edits. Will have a quick update call with any EU juniors on the project at this stage to divide tasks and see what they can do whilst the US team wakes up. Usually takes me until lunchtime.
During the Day:在13:30我有更新与欧盟的电话and US juniors across all my projects. Usually 15-minute check ins work to discuss completed work, tasks for the day and any important upcoming meeting or deadline to have on our radar. Most of my team-wide, expert or client calls happen at this stage, mainly between my early afternoon and 16:00. In the late afternoon I will usually track progress whilst being online with junior workstreams, have any ad-hoc calls with seniors as needed and wrap up things on my end before logging off at around 18:30/19:00.
Evening:Make dinner and chill. It is rare that I have calls past 19:00 but it does happen on occasion with US colleagues. If needed, will tackle these. I usually stay online on my phone to answer any quick calls or Teams messages from my US team on things that cannot wait until morning. US team will usually provide an end of day update on their end so I know where things stand the following morning.
Weekend:Almost always mine. I've rarely had to work on weekends during my career and always happened for very urgent request that were unforeseen. Usually 2-3 hours of addressing comments or slide finalization. Very occasionally, I might spend 15-30 minutes reading over emails if many have come through from Friday in order to lighten my workload Monday morning. Happens more often when I come back from vacation so I don't have an inbox with 100 unread email on Monday. Again, very rare.
I've been lucky so far in finding firms that care about culture, work-life balance, have competent juniors and respectful seniors.
Good to hear that you have found WLB in the industry. Seems like you are at the Manager level (managing both upwards and downwards), so I am curious to hear how different your schedule was in your junior years & pre-covid when you were travelling to client site.
