Great article & video! It's never a fun position to be in, but the way you handle it can make a huge difference in where you end up next.
My suggestion would to always figure out a routine early on. WIthin a few days of being laid off. Make sure you have a system to follow to delegate time and energy, otherwise your lack of direction can leave you feeling lost and depressed. This can include time for exercise, reading/education, job hunting, side hustles, family time, or even time for fun! Set small goals too!
@digitaldruid all great tips. I think without doing these things it's easy to kind of wallow and become directionless.
