I know from experience that if I don’t take a summer break, the winter becomes more of a slog and my thoughts become groggier. Often, as soon as you rest, your mind starts to “helpfully” come up with ideas to help fill your time. One of the invasive thoughts that kept prodding my brain during my break was about mo
