A time limit can free you. Someone I know (call her Janet) finished her MBA and began drifting. She worked part-time in a restaurant in a charming resort town. She felt no rush to get a corporate job to begin her career. After several months,polo ralph lauren pas cher, the restaurant closed and Janet's parents reminded her,polo ralph lauren, "We supported you through school so you could get a real job!"

Design playful activities.
Over three months, you can sign up for a class in pottery or piano. You can complete The Artist's Way program.

About The Author
Six months? You can draft a short book or outline a longer one.
After you know what you want to do,franklin marshall,
Some goals are unique combinations of the physical and the creative. "Build a cabin on my property," "Sail my boat to the island and back," "Walk the length of the state of California and keep a journal."
Set a time limit for your Time Out.

Have a plan that includes fun.
A creativity goal involves developing a new side of yourself, using some combination of art, music,polo ralph lauren pas cher, drama, and writing. You may become an artist or take "appreciation" classes. If you travel, you can keep a journal,franklin et marshall, visit art museums or attend concerts.
Physical activity can be as simple as walking or as rigorous as training for a marathon. Learn a new sport. Dance. Work with a trainer in the weight room. People tell me over and over, "I felt stronger as a person when my body became stronger."
Many people envy academics who take sabbaticals. What they don't realize is that sabbaticals are not designed as time on the beach. You are supposed to use your free time to accomplish specific projects. Often you are not allowed to embark on a sabbatical if your plans seem vague or unproductive.
I recommend two types of goals: a creativity goal and a physical activity goal.
I offer one-to-one consultations on career strategy.
If this idea is totally new, even scary, you may want to practice on weekends. You may need to identify what you really want to do before you start. A coach can help.
How do you want to play? Did you always want to spend a year at the movies, take a ceramics class,polo ralph lauren, write nonstop all morning, or begin each day with a blank slate?
Janet eventually built her own successful business, but she says a time limit would have given her a sense of direction. Don't drift. You can always start a new Time Out if you're ready.
Six weeks? You can travel or go to workshops or see all the movies you didn't have time for.
