Have anyone ever taken a personal "sabbatical leave?" How was it readjusting to corporate life? The pressure, and the stress? My daughter is two and I haven't worked a real day since she was born. I intended 1 year sabbatical to rest and travel but instead I took two years instead to travel with my family across the country. It seems after the first year I couldn't muster the discipline to work on my project even though I had a schema, half a business plan written, and knew I could build a prototype solution out in 6 months. Perhaps things didn't work out exactly I had imagined so I avoided the project and let wanderlust bite me. I'm a bit worry I've become dulled, lazy, and out of practice. More importantly, I'm worried people are trusting me with a great deal of responsibility . Usually I'm not negative, and perhaps this is signs of anxiety I need to reflect and mediate on to understand why.
If you have done a sabbatical and have gone back to work give me some insights on your prep work to hit the ground running...
