New to business trips. I discovered that my habits get totally messed up when on trips. What is your routine in travels for staying active and healthy?
I fly 2 hours twice a week to client location.

I find the exact opposite actually. I have a really hard time sticking to habits, schedule, etc when I’m home. I think this is just a result of me traveling so much for so long.

I have a gym membership I use at the client location, I stay in a hotel with a kitchenette so I cook my meals, and I follow a better sleep/wake schedule on the road. I think part of it too is that I have to be up and out of the hotel when I’m in the client city, whereas at home I just stay at home to work.

I work out on the am and plan the workouts on travel days to be shorter or easier ones or even my rest days. If I don’t have time for a full workout, I squeeze in a 7 min one using one of those apps or just do burpees and push-ups; basically anything is better than nothing mentality. I also try to be active throughout the day - stairs, calls and meetings while walking, team workouts with quick dinners afterwards, etc.

Food is the harder part for me, so I try to splurge only when it’s a great restaurant and I balance those days out with healthy breakfast (usually eggs or smoothie) and lunch (greens and protein) as well as no dessert. Alcohol - I don’t drink unless I really want one during the week.

Two hours twice a week is not too different than local/industry commute into the city every day when you think about it. Your client town becomes your second home, so can do your nearly identical routine and sounds like you’re probably on same time zone so affect should be minimal on sleep schedule.

Looking for a new position to start in Jan 2023. Timing is mainly to account for bonus and end of year vacation time. 7+ YOE federal consulting and another 6 YOE in various IT roles. If you have a position that you are hiring for that has a timeline to start in early 2023, I’m open to talking now and seeing if I can’t firm up an opportunity with a delayed start. Project Management, Data/Analytics, Strategic Planning are my primary experience areas. Remote friendly also a huge plus. Thanks!
