Have a plan: 1. What do you want to work on next? Take your time, and write it down if necessary. List out all the cool tech you want to get your hands dirty with. 2. Have a deadline. Put down your best estimate of the date you going to walk out the company for good. Think of the time you need to update yourself with new tech, learn new stuff, get to know the right people, and start looking for opportunity. 3. Now is the right time to go out and meet people -- attend conferences, give out your email, linkedin account whatever. 4. Ask yourself where you want to work, or which company you want to go -- if not freelancing or starting your own. Once you know what you want, when you want to go, and who can help you -- you are ready. You can certainly drop off and go do some soul searching or travel -- it's really up to you, but I am just saying, you might want to start to work out a plan first. Take it easy man. :-)
