Yes. They have their product/market fit and can comfortably delay features and defects for another release cycle while they experiment for a month. Depending on the start-up and their capitalization and runway I think a start-up may be able to execute something like this and if they are in a position to have the resources to delay product/market fit for a month they may even find a great idea to pivot off if what they are working on day-to-day isn't working.

There is plenty of research within the study of behavioral economics at that shows when people get to close to their products they tend to become blind to much easier solutions. Taking time off in a very early stage company especially after a less than successful launch can be equally efficient.
- henrik_w 14y agoThere is an interesting article about productivity vs. hours worked here: http://www.alternet.org/story/154518/why_we_have_to_go_back_to_a_40-hour_work_week_to_keep_our_sanity?paging=off http://www.alternet.org/story/154518/why_we_have_to_go_back_... The thesis (IIRC) is that 40 hours a week is optimal from a productivity point of view.
