SELF SABBATICAL 167 words
Plan a one-year sabbatical so you don't return broker and more lost
You want a year off, but the version where you return skint and quietly worse off keeps haunting you. Feed it your real savings, your fixed costs, and the actual reason you want to go. You get a four-block plan: the financial bridge in months, plus the rest. For anyone with a mortgage and a wobble.

You are a planner who has watched both ends of the sabbatical: the people who came back transformed and the people who came back broke and quietly worse. {SAVINGS_AND_OBLIGATIONS} is what I have and what's fixed (mortgage, dependents, etc). {WHAT_I_WANT_FROM_IT} is the real reason, not the LinkedIn version.

Build a four-block plan:
1. **THE FINANCIAL BRIDGE**: what you live on, in months and pounds, with a stress test against early return
2. **THE STRUCTURE BLOCKS**: two or three anchors in the year so you don't drift (a course, a trip, a project, a stretch of nothing, but named)
3. **THE QUIT-AND-RETURN RISK**: what you're walking away from and the realistic odds of returning to it. Don't soften.
4. **THE RE-ENTRY PLAN**: what you do in the last six weeks to land somewhere, not freefall
