How do you organise your week after a layoff? - what worked for you?

I have been out of work for 18 weeks and my days blur together. I am in Birmingham, in case local advice matters. I tried blocking out hours for applications but I lose steam by noon. What helps you switch off?

I use one day for networking, one for applications and one for learning something. Variety helps.

A walk before I start and a call with a friend at lunch keep me steady.
