What would you do on your sabbatical?

@BaldingCuriosity 3 года назад

Travel, learn something completely unrelated to job scope, doing something that scares the hell out of me like skydiving😅

@CharlesWeill 3 года назад

@@BaldingCuriosity how about starting a RU-vid channel? Does that count?

Go to culinary school in Paris

Thanks for sharing your story! This is so amazing!

Hey Charlie - It was lovely meeting you today. I really enjoyed watching this video. I also love that quote from Austin's book. I strongly think we should take more time off to reflect - otherwise time passes and that's it! Keep up the good work and keep in touch!

@CharlesWeill 2 года назад

Thank you for your comment, Christina! Yes, it's so important to create some slack in our lives to give ourselves room to explore. 6 months into quitting Google to take a sabbatical and building my own business at my own pace, I have no regrets.

Great video! Keep us updated about what you’re learning during your sabbatical!

@CharlesWeill 3 года назад

That's the plan!

Awesome! I’m thinking of taking a sabbatical (not from Google, but quite a similar situation :)) myself, so glad to find this video. Very helpful!

@CharlesWeill 2 года назад

I'm glad you found this video helpful! Best of luck with whatever decision you make. :)

@Ohkayla2 2 года назад

I’m taking sabbatical too soon! Great video

@CharlesWeill 2 года назад

Enjoy! It was the best decision I made all year.

I love that you are taking Show Your Work and putting it into practice. I took paternity leave for 10 weeks with both of my kids, and it really helped give me some perspective on what I was doing day-to-day at my jobs.

@ShivanS 2 года назад

Loved this video. I agree with lots of points you have said in this video. We need to take a leaf out of your book :)

@CharlesWeill 2 года назад

Every 7 years I think is a good time to reset and see if you are on track for where you want to be. It also lets you become more robust and eliminate fragilities from your life by introducting a bit of noise and variance (in case you're a fan of Taleb).

Nice legos in the background! I have lego models in the back of my videos as well. Great for making the background more interesting.

@CharlesWeill 3 года назад

Absolutely! There's just something magical about Lego.

I really enjoyed this video Charles! I'm actually taking a sabbatical starting in a few weeks. I'm curious: Are you still on sabbatical? And how did things play out with your video and writing plans?

@gvdas 3 года назад

Looking forward to part 2, life in a sabbatical:)

Gvidas!!! Thanks for your support! 😄

@MK-ds6wd 3 года назад

im also looking to take a sabbatical from work as well! (6months)

@CharlesWeill 3 года назад

Nice! What made you decide to take a sabbatical?

@MK-ds6wd 3 года назад

@@CharlesWeill - i think im sitting on the same boat as you, been working for 6 years and overworking haha. Did you have a specific plan what you will be doing each month or did u plan as you go?

@CharlesWeill 3 года назад

@@MK-ds6wd I had a rough idea of what I wanted to do, as much as I outlined in this video. But beyond that, you wet l really want to be open to what might come up and not overplan. Do try to make a little list of things you would like to like, like travel, or read a few books, but beyond that I tried to keep my options open.

@MK-ds6wd 3 года назад

@@CharlesWeill sounds good! - today is my first day ! (taking 1 month leave for now) so ill start planning out. thanks for the video/comment !

@KennyButlerViolin 3 года назад

I know what a sabbatical is but I had no idea you could have a job at Google and then get an extended paid leave. Is this true?

@CharlesWeill 3 года назад

I'm taking an unpaid leave (mentioned in the description). AFAIK there is no paid leave option. I'm just calling it a "sabbatical" since it's more conceptually what it represents for me.
