For 18 years, Automattic has offered every employee the core benefit of a three month paid sabbatical every five years. This year, for the first time ever, Matt took a sabbatical himself.
In this exclusive conversation, we'll unpack the challenges and benefits of making time for rest as well as the impact and practicality of taking breaks.
Resting is a difficult thing for many of us. We'll use part of the conversation to explore the unhealthy relationship some of us develop with work, why it's so hard to step away, and strategies we could employ to create more opportunities for rest.
