Each time I've come back from one of these, I tend to be somewhat more productive than I was before I went. And I spend them doing stuff that I just don't do while working: being outside a lot, doing more physical things and so forth. I used to wonder if I'd be able to sustain doing these and working. Now I wonder if I would be able to sustain working without doing them... :-) I try to go away two months a year – one month in spring, one month in autumn – to get a kind of “re-charge”.

They are probably much more founded on effective brain work compared to trying to think during New Years festivities... I believe in thinking hard to formulate problems and goals and then letting it go for some time, the brain has a remarkable way of chugging along in the background so that the solutions and smart ideas suddenly appear in daylight when one least expects it. During my vacation I just read a number of inspiring books like "Here comes everybody". I also re-read "the 4-Hour work week", it has made me plan some productivity-enhancing resolutions and strengthened my quest for an online "muse" to run together with someone that also sees all the new online possibilities.
