Wow, how awesome would that be! That sounds much more fun than my sabbatical! And yes, I can imagine how difficult it would be to get back into work mode after that. @ Alex, I thought of you when I was writing this! @ Emma, I've found when I'm stressed I often don't think of taking a break. I get so caught up in the "I've got so much to do and so little time" mindset that I forget that a break will actually help me be more productive. I hope the stress has passed for you and you're feeling better! :-) @ Shannon, Four months of bike riding through NC and Peru? Wow, how awesome would that be!

@ Emma, I’ve found when I’m stressed I often don’t think of taking a break. I get so caught up in the “I’ve got so much to do and so little time” mindset that I forget that a break will actually help me be more productive. I hope the stress has passed for you and you’re feeling better! :-)

I think I've forgotten how to relax properly, and I have just so stressed over the last few days that I have had to enforce a break on myself. I should have stopped sooner, but I'm always fiddling with something. Ironically, when I worked for someone else, I took more breaks, holidays and switched off at the end of the working day (from the job anyway). Now I work for myself, I am realising how tough on myself I am, and that needs to change! Thanks for the reminder. .-= Emma Newman´s last post...<a href="http://www.enewman.co.uk/writing/no-longer-my-baby" rel="nofollow">No longer my baby</a> =-.

Glad to see the push for entrepreneurs to take time off appearing in other spots. Far too many of us think we can't take a break without killing the business. .-= Alex Fayle | Someday Syndrome´s last post...<a href="http://somedaysyndrome.com/2009/06/make-a-decision-any-decision-lea-woodward-interview/" rel="nofollow">Make a Decision, Any Decision: Lea Woodward Interview</a> =-.

Working 24/7 is the quickest way to burn out and lose creativity. A day off (two, better yet) each week is a much needed respite for me. On the other hand, too much time off can sometimes be difficult to come back from. Like you, I took a 4 month break last year to ride a motorcycle from my home in North Carolina to Peru. Wow, was it ever a challenge to get back into work mode after that! Agreed. Working 24/7 is the quickest way to burn out and lose creativity.
