I lost my job, and can't get into a routine?

Question

I lost my job a few weeks ago, and was doing fine with my kids being home. We had lots of stuff to do and I was able to keep busy. Now with them back in school, I feel like I dont know what to do with myself! I am looking for a new job, just not alot of results, I just feel so lazy and dont want to do anything? Does anyone have any suggestions?

Answer 1

haha. I hear ya. I am a WAHM and some days are soooo long when the kids are gone. I work about 4 hrs a day though so that helps. Maybe you should look into some PT work like I do. It's all from home and there's no costs to get started. I have made a list of places that I have used (only free ones), I know they're all legit because I don’t list them until I've been paid by them. I do have survey sites listed; only the ones that I know for sure work. The 2nd place I listed is totally different. You design and run your own jewelry web store. You don't buy inventory or anything; you make commission from the sales. Nothing to lose by looking, it’s free. You can see my list and details on these places at http://tinyurl.com/homeoffice

Use this time wisely and get on the internet + buy your local paper and start looking for new jobs. This is the perfect opportunity for you to do this since you have a lot of time on your hands and your kids aren't home to disturb you.

I'd set small goals at first...for example, do one thing towards getting a new job today.  Perhaps make a call, or send a resume.  You'd be surprised at how just completing one small goal can motivate you to do more, or if you aren't motivated, at least you did that one small thing.
