Working with deadlines

Whatever I do, whether a job or something else i.e. business, I have to find that vocation pretty quickly because I have deadlines approaching. The first key date is mid-Feb when my paycheck stops. The second is late March because my mom wants me to visit her with my son; I better have something by then. Third and potentially more significant is August when my health insurance runs out; this is critical since it impacts not just me but also my wife and son. So there is a huge urgency in resolving my current predicament.

I need a sound strategy to effectively do the job search. I have yet to figure out the details but what I know is that I need to spread my net wide and hopefully I will catch the "fish" that I am looking for. If I don't, I might have to compromise but I will never lose sight of my goals and try to get there asap. My biggest mistake during the past 10 years has been to sit stay on my comfort zone and hope for the best; I am not going to repeat that mistake.
