I have a 4 month break from my big tech co. My focus will be on spending it with my kids and wife.

However, I also want to take it as an opportunity to work on myself and come back stronger. 2022 was pretty stressful and I was getting burnt out.

I can’t remember the last time I had this much time off and the thought of this being the last long break before I retire is scary and is making me anxious that I won’t make the most of it.

Any tips and suggestions to make the most of it would help me.

Some context about me that might be helpful:
I’m in my 30s. Deep in child rearing stage of life. Live in the Bay Area and have very little to no friends in the area. Have an infant now that limits very long travel.
