That said, I found unemployment to be a great time to get fit. It's a rare time where working out for 90 minutes doesn't unduly impact other parts of life.
- jmduke 13y agoBetter yet: it's a great time to develop a habit of exercise! It's not even a big time commitment (a simple lifting program will take you around 45 minutes every other day; a cardio program will probably take you twice that), and once you get into a habit of it its much easier to integrate into a busier schedule.
- hablahaha 13y agoI was just thinking about doing this exact thing if I ever had a chance for funemployment. Exercise more, plan and prepare better meals, get a better sleep schedule. This is such a great suggestion, much different than just suggesting to work on side projects, building up your resume, etc.
- mathattack 13y agoIt's actually in addition to all of that. Treating your body better also helps with self confidence and coping with stress. The routines can last after the job search is over, though perhaps just not with as much intensity or duration.

- jarek 13y ago> The fun part of funemployment only lasts 2 weeks or so, or when the first rejection comes in. This can be very easily extended by not looking for rejections. In my mind funemployment involves not looking for a job (or writing posts about what you're looking for in a new job, or thinking about jobs).
