While I like this idea, a concept that I would love to see make a comeback is the sabbatical. Don't get me wrong, disconnecting and getting away from it all is valuable, but it also seems like the opposite end of the pendulum swing from always working. Personally, I would like something in between. Give me 6 weeks to work, but work on what I want: no deadlines, no clients, not even necessarily any deliverables. Just 6 weeks to explore...ultimately, I think that would be even more productive in the long run.

- tseabrooks 14y agoI really like the idea of a sabbatical... but I always worried then in my (our) field you'd end up really really far behind / out of touch if you took a 2 month sabbatical.
- GFischer 14y agoMy impression is that you're overstating the effects of a 2 month sabbatical. Much like turning off the TV, I suspect that if you do get a 2 month sabbatical, you'll find out that most of the new developments are overstated and that you'll be able to quickly catch up.
