One thing that we control as I mentioned in my first post is our time. That is very important as we now have no one to blame if we don't use our time wisely.
One of the joys we can take advantage of now is the opportunity to learn something new. This could be as basic as learning a new word each day, catching up on some reading, getting a new skill or even getting more training or education. Which one is right for you depends on where you are and where you want to be.
Since I have become unemployed I have learned more about how use social media. Not to say I am an expert but there are many people my age who can't even spell Twitter. On the other hand there are some who would say that a blog is no longer cutting edge but if you are reading this you are not one of them. To me, social media are the tools that I need to meet new people, ask for help, get a new job and in the end be a better person.
Reading is another way to improve. I'm not saying you shouldn't read the latest summer fiction but keeping a mix of relevant reading helps you stay connected with your industry/profession and gives you great interview ice breakers and solid answers to the "What was the last book you read?" question.
Improving your self is one of the joys we have as people. What new things are you learning while you have the time?
