Learning a New Skill or Hobby during Job Hunting?

So I was recently "let go" from my recent job and I'm now again on the arduous search for employment again. I've spent the first few days applying for minor retail jobs and watching shit on Hulu but I'm trying to figure how to use this additional free time to learn a skill or work on a new hobby while I job hunt.

How do you guys manage your job searching? Do you alternate days where you search and use the off days to work on something? or do you start your day with applications and spend the rest of the day on something? I'm trying to spend my days productively but sometimes I get burnt out applying to places I lose motivation to do anything but watch YouTube videos

What do you guys do?
