As someone who once couldn’t imagine burning the cash, I’m a month into a 6-12 month sabbatical after finally burning out pretty hard.
My advice to my former self would be to take extended time before it became a borderline personal crisis. The funny thing about that opportunity cost - I’m now spending time just building the energy to use this time away for things I find personally interesting.
Had I taken the time sooner, it probably could have been shorter, and I’d probably enjoy the first bit of it more.

- kingnothing 4y agoI originally planned on a 3-6 month sabbatical and I'm now 8 months in and starting to look for work. It's been a phenomenal refresher and I highly recommend it to everyone who is able to do so. I plan on taking another one in 5-10 years if I'm not retired by then.
