The other really valuable component of getting away, which I think Chris is eluding to here but doesn't come right out and say it, is that it will provide clarity. The longer we grind the more tunnel visioned we become and the more granular we become on a single methodology or idea. By backing away and diverting your focus to things you truly enjoy and that allow you to relax: family, kids, your dog or cat, hiking, mountain bike riding, knitting, it doesn't matter, you will find you see your project(s) more clearly when you return, and will often times have an epiphany that would have never occurred to you staring at the screen.

Chris – this is so true. If you are working your face off all the time, It's far too easy to burn out. You don't win the marathon by burning out at mile 20. And if your series has taught me anything, it's that becoming an overnight success is a marathon.

This is an awesome perspective. I think much of what I'm not willing to sacrifice does correlate directly with my fear of losing or failing.
