hey there abers.....just to say sorry to ask for your help but mostly you are all always v helpful!! I have quite a list of job applications i want to do but just cant get motivated. I am v depressed atm and going to see a counsellor next week and do find it really hard to constantly write lots of applications about myself when i feel so low.

thanks in anticipation

Don't look at them all at once.

Either prioritise: These are the two/three that I REALLY want, and just do them

or be SMART

Set a Simple, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic Target of say, two per day

also avoid alcohol and get up and showered dressed by 8am and don't come on here at all till u have achgieved at least three goals for applications, drink lots of water and eat lots of good healthy stuff, take vitamins.

What kind of work are you applying for out of interest?
