Define your sabbatical purpose

When we're thinking about designing our break, we need to understand where you're at - in your career, life and with your energy levels. Understanding your current state will help you design the break that's right for you and make sure you achieve your purpose for taking a break. It doesn't matter how long your break is - days, weeks or months - what's important is to design it well to get what you need

Use the Break/Sabbatical purpose matrix tool to understand what is driving you to take a break and what you need from the time off. Assess which quadrant you fall into and answer the reflection questions to help you understand what this means for you.
