Feel Overwhelmed in Your Job Search?

Here’s the 5-Hour Rule That Changes Everything

Most job seekers try to go all in:

Update the resume. Apply to 15 jobs. Refresh LinkedIn. Panic-scroll Indeed.

Then they burn out in a week.

The truth?

Consistency > Intensity — every time.

The best career transitioners I’ve worked with? They use what I call the 5-Hour Rule.

Here’s how it works:

Step 1: Block 1 hour per weekday (no more)

That’s it. No marathons. Just one focused hour daily.

Step 2: Theme your week

• Monday: Clarify goals + update positioning

• Tuesday: Network outreach

• Wednesday: Follow-up + content

• Thursday: Applications (max 3)

• Friday: Interview prep + review wins

Step 3: Track just 3 things

• How many real conversations you’ve started

• How many interviews you’ve booked

• How many times you’ve gotten clearer on your story

This structure has landed people interviews with zero burnout.
