		RBerenguel on Oct 6, 2010 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Ask HN: Underperforming, feeling stuck When was the last time you disconnected from programming? Holidays? Have you taken a halt and re-started? If you are getting nowhere, try to get two weeks off. If you can manage, a month. And keep away from programming for that time. You will crave coding after 2 weeks :D

See "this is serial" above. I took about 9 months off. Didn't really do any coding at all.

I agree, I always take one long holiday a year. 3 weeks when possible.
