When you are looking for your next gig, remember that you are running a marathon, not a sprint. Treat it like a job, put in 8 – 10 hours a day, take weekends off. Exercise, get sleep, eat right, be systematic and steady – the momentum you build will get your through the peaks and valleys of the experience, which can be emotionally taxing. Placing in the larger context of your career, your work like, will help you maintain perspective.
