Sunday reset for a long job search: one hour, then stop

A job search that never closes on Friday will steal Sunday too. Pair this with the weekday cap.

The hour

Thirty minutes for last week’s sent notes. Twenty minutes to pick five Monday targets. Ten minutes to close the tabs. Then leave the desk.

What Sunday is not

Not the day to rewrite the CV. Not the day to argue with a silent inbox.

Context: WHO — mental health at work.

How to work this guide

A job search routine is a shift with a close. Cap weekday hours. Keep one table: date sent, role, follow-up. Friday is for closing tabs, not for a third rewrite of the same CV.

Sleep and a walk are not soft advice. A tired interview reads as unprepared. If the search is also eating Sunday, book one hour and stop when the timer ends.

Conclusion

A search that lasts needs a close. Sunday is for reset, not for another unpaid shift.
