What is the purpose of 'Batching Small Tasks' in the application strategy section?

To break the job search process into very small, manageable blocks (e.g., 30-45 minutes) to prevent immediate overwhelm.

The strategy of 'Batching Small Tasks' is designed specifically to counteract the immediate overwhelm that the broad concept of 'job searching' can trigger when managing depression. Instead of attempting to dedicate an entire, draining day to job searching activities, the process is intentionally fragmented into minute, low-stakes components. For example, one short session might be dedicated solely to updating one section of a resume for 30 minutes, while another brief session might involve researching the mission statements of only three companies for 45 minutes. This approach allows for incremental progress, providing small wins and momentum without demanding sustained, high-level effort that can lead to immediate abandonment of the search.
