My Daily Routine Activities

 

    As promised in my earlier post, I am providing you in detail about my daily routine activities after retirement. I am very much thankful to the God that I am blessed with post retirement life. I take my post retirement life as an opportunity to explore myself and to identify my potentials and likings. My daily routine activities include morning walk, yogas, intra-day trading, learning guitar, reading books and other household activities.

   My day starts at 6.00 am. First thing that I do in the morning is  expressing my gratitude to the God for saving this universe, for our existence and for whatever material and non-material things that we are having. Then after finishing my morning activities I along with my wife go to a beautiful garden in my locality for morning walk. After finishing morning walk, we use to perform yogas in the garden and thereafter we proceed back to our home. We finish purchasing our daily needs while returning home and reach home by 7.45 am. Thereafter, we finish our morning tea and I listen to financial news in TV while taking tea. After finishing morning tea, I take bath to prepare myself to start intra-day trading by 9.15 am, i.e. the opening of the stock market. Before 9 am I finish my breakfast.

    From 9.15 am to 3.30 pm, I devote my total energy and time for intra-day trading. Before opening of stock market at 9.15 am, I listen to the financial news and do chart checking to identify sectors which may be bullish or bearish and accordingly decide my trading strategies after identifying stocks in those sectors. In between I take my lunch with my family members at around 1.30 pm. After finishing intra-day trading at 3.30 pm when market closes, I evaluate my performance during the trading session and then I take snap for 20 to 30 minutes to rejuvenate myself. 

     In the evening, I take tea and snacks with my wife and watch TV for about half an hour. Then I play guitar for one hour from 7 pm to 8 pm. Then I check my mails and watch motivational and stock market related videos in youtube and thereafter I rush to kitchen for arranging dinner which we generally take at 9 pm. By 9-30 pm we finish our dinner and it takes another 15 to 30 minutes to finish wrap-up work in the kitchen. Then I spend another 45 minutes in reading book. Between 10-15 pm to 10-30 pm we talk to our elder son through video call. My elder son is a software engineer and staying in Germany. We go to bed by 11.00 pm. 

     My activities on saturday and sunday are different than that from Monday to Friday as stock market is closed on saturday and sunday. However, my morning activities i.e. morning walk, etc. and post evening activities till going to bed are almost similar to that from Monday to Friday. My activities from 9 am to 3.30 pm are different than that from other days i.e. from Monday to Friday. During that time period, I do my other personal and household works that includes inter-alia; identifying stocks for short term and long term investments based on fundamental and technical analysis, writing articles, shopping, etc,. 

Starting Point of My Second Innings


  I started second innings of my life from May 01, 2021 after taking voluntary retirement on April 30, 2021. I have planned my second innings much before taking decision on voluntary retirement. Spending time is a big challenge for many persons after retirement. But since I have done my retirement planning much earlier, I am not facing any challenge in spending  time after retirement. I am gainfully utilizing my time from the very first day of my retirement.  My daily activities after retirement are as under:

1. Intra-day trading in stock market
2. Reading Book
3. Learning Guitar
4. Extending helping hand in domestic work
5. Other miscellaneous works

    Friends, among all the activities mentioned above, intra-day trading consumes my maximum time. Stock market starts at 9.15 am and closes at 3.30 pm every day from Monday to Friday. But for deciding the strategies and choosing trading stocks and its derivatives, I have to watch the financial news from 7.30 am and I have to finish my bath and breakfast before 9 am. Even after the close of stock market at 3.30 pm, I have to spend another half an hour in analysing my performance during the trading session and another half an hour in listening to the analysis of the market by the experts in news channel. As regards the risk management, I will provide details in another post.

  I spend daily one hour in learning guitar and spend 45 minutes in reading books. I also spend my quality time by extending helping hand to my wife in domestic work. In this way, I am utilising my time gainfully after retirement. Intra-day trading is my main activity and also my passion. I am spending nine hours a day in intra-day trading from Monday to Friday and approximately the same hours of time I was spending in office before retirement. Then the question arise what is the difference after retirement? The major difference is that I do not have any boss after retirement, I am the owner of my time and I can do the work as per my choice and passion. The details of my daily routine activity will be provided in the next post.
