in reply to How realistic is an extended absence?

This comes from an old guy who raised 2 sons as a single dad. I have both worked from home and and done the office thing. Both have their time and place in my life. The keys to remaining viable and "fresh" without burning out or becoming out of date. 1. Keep learning - always keep learning. Never be satisfied with the current tools and technology you use. 2. Work life balance - yeah it's a never ending juggling act. Yin and yang - work and non work. They compliment each other in ways you can only begin to understand with time. Non work, whether it's family or other interests - keeps work fresh and creative, and work gives you perspectives on life that are incredibly meaningful to (you and your family.) I know this is not a simple answer but - it's not a simple question you ask. It is, however an incredibly thought provoking subject. The answers are different for everyone. Cheers.
