Sabbaticals rule. Surfing in Bali, traipsing through Patagonia, jump on a freight train or choose your own adventure.

  Yeah, but it is easy to still stay plugged in. It takes work no matter where you are to not jack.

    That's a choice. Leave the cell at home. Pickup a burner in country only when you need it. Problem solved. It's up to the individual to actually unwind or stay burned out.

      Easier said that done. One can do that here, one doesn't need to go on a world trip sabbatical to unplug and recharge. Better to keep the steady state. All I am saying is that it takes mental energy, the mechanical act of "unplugging" is as simple as not charging your cellphone.

        It doesn't take any energy to leave a cell phone at home before leaving for an airport. On day four, I can assure you, you'll still be alive, worrying about your HN karma, taxes or whatever. What people most often search the entire world for is only found inside. If they never found it, going everywhere and doing everything is never going to help. Only people that are centered enough but just temporarily exhausted can actually enjoy an exotic vacation or just going for a walk.
