Quitting before securing another job

I am feeling very burnt out about work recently and really want a change in work environment ( while looking to get pay ofc )

However, i tend to push off sending the job applications until i am done “preparing” myself for the upcoming interviews and technical tests that will be held.

With that said, I always tend to feel very tired and lethargic after work that i cannot squeeze out the extra time to prepare for the interviews leading to this endless cycle of me thinking that i will apply for another job the moment i am done preparing myself but that time just never comes.

Should i quit my job before securing another job so that i have more time to prepare myself for the upcoming interviews?

Use the weekends to prep? I’m risk adverse so I wouldn’t quit before finding a job

Sometimes your feel crappy in job means you should take 1-2 days of break

Have you ever thought, that employers purposely makes you so tired and burnout so that YOU dont have the energy to hunt for jobs?

Send applications first. When you get interviews, take 2 days of MC to prepare for them.
