Every now and then go away, have a little relaxation, for when you come back to your work your judgment will be surer, since to remain constantly at work will cause you to lose power of judgment…

Go some distance away because the work appears smaller and more of it can be taken it at a glance, and a lack of harmony or proportion is more readily seen.

Leonardo da Vinci

All work and no play makes Johnny a dull boy. That’s because Johnny is so busy working, simply trying to get through, that there is nothing else. He has lost his balance and his perspective.

By going away and becoming refreshed, the work will be viewed in a new light, from a new perspective, not to mention just getting a chance to relax from all the demands of the job. By releasing the every day hold of your work, you can determine where changes need to be made and make better decisions.

You can detach from your work and reaffirm the real, original intention of the work. “When you up to your ass in alligators, it’s hard to remember the original mission was to drain the swamp.” By getting away from the swamp, you can look at the job with fresh eyes and discover a better way to drain the swamp. You are able to look at the job as a whole again and what you were unable to see from fighting so close in will become apparent again.
