I'm glad this is brought up. ever since I left Google my parents no longer have much to brag about when taking to relatives about me. I got to spend a year doing stuff I was passionate about without having to defend my decisions to anybody and it was so liberating. Life is much more fun when you are not in the spot light, you can pretty much do whatever you want.
In my time off, I built a few profitable projects and gave away CEO title to my friends. I write blog posts anonymously so my name is never associated with anything. It was a pretty big mindset shift, but it's been pretty good so far
I would love to hear more about your experience doing this. Would you be willing to share links to your blog (perhaps privately, since your name is in your profile)?
