On mini retirement, I have done this a few times, but not since I had kids and bought a house. I did it several times while studying when I had minimal expenses, and one time more recently when the company I was working for agreed to give me a year of unpaid leave so I knew I had a job to come home to. One part of me loves the feeling of having a total break, nothing to check in on and no one to be accountable to. The other part of me wants to create something of my own which would mean I can’t step away indefinitely, but I also hope I won’t want to step away from it.
