When I was looking for a new position after being downsized, I spent from 8:00 AM to 12:00 PM working on the job search. That included researching companies; tailoring my resume for each position; cover letters; maintaining a spreadsheet of all applications and communications and touching base with my network to stay in mind if a new opportunity came up. In the afternoon, if there wasn't more job search work to complete, I took the opportunity to run errands that otherwise had to be done in the evenings or weekends while working or pampered myself by reading or doing my nails, etc.
