Being unemployed
A narrative about being unemployed for a while and how to keep going
It feels uncomfortable, missing something important from our lives, people we need to answer.
Adding to that, lack of self-discipline, inconsistency, the need to pay bills and a demand to stay sane. You are aware that without job, we might get broke or lose daily routine, social circle but still we want/forced to be unemployed.
Now, we accept the fact that we need to take complete control of our work lives. Sometimes harder.
- 2.Maintaining the self discipline and keep track of our work, no matter even we work for an hour a day.
- 3.Keep the social circle, and not taking a drastic changes in circle. This would keep at least the important aspect of our day intact.
- 4.
- 5.
- 6.Be kind to yourself. You are not to blame, even if you feel you are responsible.
- 1.No matter how it feels in a day. Wake up in the morning, freshen up, brush teeth, take a bath. And start the day's work.
- 2.About what to work on, start with a list of three items. Once we start completing them one by one, the next tasks will be visible. And we could change our direction to a promising place.
- 3.Not everything needs to be built to completion. In Highway design, many roads are designed to 85% of the vehicles speed that they travel. Start with the topic, build it, note it down and if you are inclined rebuild it.
- 4.I found that walking/physical activity (if possible, outdoors) helps a lot with thinking and comprehending the complex things.
- 1.Talk to parents, loved ones, friends.
- 2.Avoid talking to the people who drastically changes our mood.
- 3.Stay away from anxiety inducing situations, and have plans for them. As they normally happen.
