Personally, I was unemployed over the summer in 2008 (four months). Now I had a good severance package, and there were very few job interviews, so overall I think I spent maybe a few hours a week on looking for work. But I didn't really accomplish much during that time (I was much more productive writing open source over a 1.5 week holiday break a year or two back). I guess that must have been because I was so burned out from not having any real vacation for 10 years, that 4 months of downtime (without scrambling to pay bills, etc) caused me to just zone out at the camper and sleep most of the time.
