I've noticed something: Before I was given gardening leave, I felt that time was tight but since I have had whole days to myself, I feel that time is tighter? What is the reason for this paradox?

Well, it's quite simple, when I was at work I only did as much job hunting as I could reasonably afford. Now that I've got all the time in the world, I'm looking to get more done.

Anyway, I'm taking a couple of days off -- not from everything just from job hunting. I've been cleaning and tidying my flat today. I'll carry on tomorrow. Now why, you might ask, does it take two days to clean and tidy when it normally takes one? The answer is that I'm taking the opportunity to sort out my paper work (i.e. shred all the bills and pay slips that are too old to be of any use to anyone). I'm doing that because it'll create more space and it'll help keep me positive for when I restart my job hunting.
