hey bill, you know most people take a bit of a break this time of year right? so if you decided you wanted to ease off the gas and catch your breath for a week or so then i don't think people would mind, at the very least you shouldn't beat yourself up so much when you've been absolutely killing it for the last six months
whenever everyone else takes a break actually seems to me like the best time to not take a break. that way i'll have no competition during that time
