The Momentum Week
Restarting a Stalled Job Search
Most job searches don’t fail.
They stall.
Not because people stop caring —
But because they stop moving.
1. Why motivation is the wrong goal
Motivation fades.
Momentum builds.
2. Four momentum-building actions
Try one this week:
send one reconnection message
comment thoughtfully on one post
Share one thing you learned or built
follow up with one person
No pressure. Just movement.
3. This week’s assignment
Pick one action.
Do it today.
Then stop.
Momentum grows when you don’t overload yourself.
