I've recently discovered that I want a complete 180 and switch careers while unemployed..I am planning on returning this summer to community college to knock some pre req science courses out of the way to move on to a university Dietetics prgm...I want to only go for a part-time job so that I may go to school part-time as well. And while I feel I have resolved this part. Everything else seems imbalanced. When I was doing my undergrad, all I did was school work and obsess over school work--I don't want to go back to that! I need advice on how to balance my time--how to divide the days up for personal reading, self-education to make muyself more marketable, family, hobbies, friends (how many hours I should realistically devote to these essential aspects...Because of my obsessive nature, I will read nutrition books for half a day and then just job search for the rest of the day, and then I have days where I'm just reading blogs, not learning anything, exercise and that's it..I want to volunteer some time, too..I want to be efficient and enjoy life and seriously think that I need help to divide up the hours of the day/week to accomplish this. What is reasonable allotment hours wise?..I'd appreciate the guidance."

Dear Anonymous: 

Congratulations on your decision to change careers. You are wise in being able to make the first decision in response to your job ending. This is the first step in using this time of unemployment in a valuable way. I would suggest that you enlist in some free help on the Internet for time management in order to round out and plan the hours in the day to accomplish what you want. This is absolutely imperatiave and might be your first order of business for yourself to thrive.
