ANECDOTE

Burnout and Isolation

  • In 2014, Sean McCabe worked 100+ hours per week and realized his only friends were his employees.

Start Small, Commit Publicly

  • Start with short, recurring sabbaticals, like one week every seven weeks.
  • Publicly commit to your sabbatical schedule to increase accountability.
INSIGHT

The Sabbatical Cycle
