I’m working full time, applying to jobs at night, and my brain feels cooked by 8pm. I don’t have an hour for the gym, but I need something to reset. Thinking 15-minute lift circuits or a fast walk to clear my head. For those balancing work and job search, what’s your quick mental refresh routine?

I'm a big fan of taking a walk. It's so simple and you don't have to prepare, it's just a matter of lacing on my sneakers. Which I'm usually wearing anyway. If I walk for a half hour I usually feel reinvigorated. I usually have more energy after I've walked than before.

I'm just looking full time now, but find the same need to balance the stress of uselessly submitting resumes online and getting no reply with the need to stay sane. I guess I am working still since I'm sorting out my collectibles and getting ready to set up at a convention (people do that for a living so it counts as work!).

My solution is my cats.

They never let me take anything too seriously!

Actually sorting my Pokémon cards actually clears my mind sometime lol

same boat full time work but starting to look out ? Any of you really care if job is hybrid remote or all 5 days in this day and age? Yes we all prefer hybrid or remote but it’s hard to find now . I just want stable job even ready to take salary cut

Walking the dogs is my head clearer. No screens and fresh air.

I have a Peloton in my living room, so when I can’t make it to the gym, I can at least get a quick 30-minute bike ride in. I also try to walk outside for 30 minutes when the weather is nice—being out in the sun really helps my mental health.

Personally, a walk is a really good reset. I think any kind of exercise is a good break.

I am a fan of short walks or light bodyweight circuits. Fifteen minutes away from screens does more for clarity than forcing another application when exhausted.

I have a schedule to do it for like 2 hours a day and not go beyond that! Too much of it can actually stress you up!

Meditation

Do the 9-Breathe Exercise. By the time you get to your ninth purposeful breathes you will feel more settled, and ready to relax.

Hi! I have a quick question and could use some advice:

I have 1 job offer that is an hour away and pays 45k, after negotiations (Research Associate Position at a University) .

I have just interviewed for a position closer to home and a base salary of 65k, but haven’t heard back from them in about 2 days (He said he would make a decision by yesterday and I’ve reached out).
I have to decide on the first offer by Thursday but I haven’t heard back from the second yet. Thoughts on next move?
