Vacation

Everyone needs a mental break to stay sharp when working. For years, we didn't heed our own advice.

Reasons to take a break:

1. Fresh eyes for old problems
   
2. Physical rejuvination
3. Recharge doing a favorite activity
4. Time spent with family and friends
5. Learn something new outside of industry
6. Reflect on past year and decide changes
7. Be mindful about what you want for next months, years, decades

2005 was, in my view, the fastest year I have ever lived through. 2006 looks to be even faster. A concerted effort must be made to purposely slow down and take stock so you can spend your energy doing what you want to do...not just have to do.
