Spend your morning sending out your CV and applying to jobs that you’re interested in. This will give you a sense of purpose and leave the rest of your day free to pursue other activities.

Pick up an extra skill馃嵐馃摍

There is no better time to work on yourself and to expand your current skill set. Don’t worry if you don’t have a degree or a diploma, as there are plenty of highly paid no qualification jobs you can get. Register yourself for that bartending course you鈥檝e been meaning to take. Learn how to land your first hospitality job.
