There isn't a lot to do when you don't have a job. It's ironic, you have all this time, but no motivation or funds. So far I've taken and given up jogging, meditating, and cleaning. I've alphabetized my cds and photographed my shoes.
Job hunting is pretty soul-crushing, so I have to pad it within other tasks to lift my spirits. I like lists, especially when I can cross off things I've done. Each night I'll make a list of things to do the next day. I'll give myself a variety of tasks, knowing I won't accomplish that many, but I like the fact that I have some choice. And you can bet "get dressed" is usually on the list, not only as a reminder, but for the feeling of accomplishment if I get it done.
My daily list might have "get dressed" on it, along with "watch Ellen," and then I'll sneak in "job hunt," but cushion that with "eat a snack."
I just crossed "blog about something" off my list.
