Work Life Balance at Fishtank: What We Do After Work
Ever wonder what the Fishtank team does after work?
Behind every project and client conversation, there are real people who need time to reset. Stepping away from work helps us stay creative, focused, and ready for the next challenge. Here we share a few hobbies that help us recharge.
Why This Matters
These hobbies are more than just ways to pass the time. They help us stay balanced, creative, and energised.
When we take time to recharge, we come back with clearer thinking, more patience, and a fresh perspective. That is good for us, and it is good for the people we work with every day.
Because behind every project, there are people who know how to switch off and come back ready to give their best.
Fernanda and her Ukulele
For Fernanda, music is her way to reset.
“At the end of the day, my ukulele becomes my reset button. It releases whatever I’m carrying and helps me harmonize my being. When I play, I feel present. I feel like myself again.”
Playing helps her slow down and be in the moment after a busy day. That calm feeling carries into her work through thoughtful communication and a steady approach to solving problems.
Marc and building Brick Models
For Marc, building brick models is his way to switch off.
“I love building brick models, either on my own or with my kids. Working with my hands helps me step away from work and find balance again. When I build, there’s no pressure, just focus, and my mind can really switch off.”
It helps him slow down after a busy day and do something simple and creative. That quiet time makes it easier to come back the next day feeling clear headed and ready again.
Andrea and her Painting
For Andrea, painting is her way to relax and recharge.
“When I paint, I can fully disconnect. It’s just colours, shapes, and the present moment. There’s no pressure or expectations, just space to be creative. It’s peaceful, and I can simply be myself.”
Painting gives her a break from screens and structure. That creative time helps her return with fresh ideas and new ways of looking at challenges.
