I’ve coached people who have a mandatory sabbatical in their organization. What I’ve observed is people get really good at delegating in preparation for time off. Then they come back super recharged and stay with the company for a longer tenure. Consider that you don’t need to actually accomplish something during time off. That there is a ton of value in just being instead of doing.

There’s no excuse that by the age of 25 you have never tried therapy. I’m speaking directly to the demographic in this group who I’m sure over 95% of people in here are earning 6 figures. Key word: TRY. I understand it’s not for everyone but to have never even attempted seeking therapy is a injustice to yourself and the people around you.
