I don't switch off either, one of my former housemates has a photo he thinks is amazing of me
playing 2 computer games while watching a movie and texting.
But I've recently signed on with a company with around ~6.5 weeks leave a year. I already have it worked out:
- I go to Hawaii for a week, to Surf.
- I'm going to New Zealand for a week, to Ski.
- I'll be buying an around the world trip for the other 4 weeks.
All of these will be very active and I don't have to turn off I'll have my laptop with me at all times.
> Who says it is about money? What if it is about making an impact upon the world? About creating products that touch millions of lives, about doing our small part to make the world a better place?
I find this hard to swallow, if you're talking about an amazing piece of software it might take X hours to build, if it's cleaning up the oceans it might take Y hours, either way a holiday only delays that and allows you time to yourself.
I'm sure everyone here realizes that there's a maximum amount of hours you can work continuously in programming per day. Well it also applies on a longer timescale. Taking some time off will boost your productivity in the long term.
