This is the advice of former Minnesota Viking Fran Tarkenton, who suggests you try to find the fun in every task: "If it's not fun, you're not doing it right," he says.
Wouldn't it be nice if you were as motivated to write your resume tomorrow as you were to play Little League or skip rope as a child?
While I can't promise to make it as much fun as a trip to Disney World, there are ways to make job hunting more enjoyable by making it more like a game.
In fact, here are 6 ways to do it …
1) Use a Scoreboard
Grab a whiteboard, bulletin board, or a large piece for paper.
Then, start "keeping score" of your vital job-search activities, such as networking calls and jobs you've applied for.
Think baseball here. Score every voicemail you leave as a single, a phone conversation as a double, a networking meeting as a triple, and a job interview -- that's a home run. (What will your double plays be? Stolen bases? Walks?)
Remember the advice of top sports agent and author, Mark McCormack: "When the day is done, make one more phone call." Then score it.
