Really great chat guys, thanks! I'm not working currently and completely relate to what you say about feeling guilty about not spending every minute job hunting! But I recently started taking breaks like you're suggesting and I'm amazed at how helpful they are! I let my imagination have some fun and see myself in the ideal role for me! I come back to my 'work' re-energized, with better focus and ultimately have been more productive!
