I found this TED lecture by Stefan Sagmeister so inspiring. If only we could all take these recurring creative sabbaticals, we might live happier by allowing our minds to take a deserved time out to open up and get energized. I love the idea of allowing yourself the time to get a fresh outlook on our current skill set as professionals (which really is just another form of growth). What better gift could we give our creative minds than a break every once in a while to reboot, refresh and rejuvenate?
