I know from experience that when I get the following symptoms, its time for a decent break:

• You start staring around at all the big buildings and infrastructure in the city absolutely bewildered at how it all got there and you just can’t understand why anyone would bother with all that hard work - it just blows your mind why people go to work at all.
• 40 hours of consulting in a given week seems like an eternity and you just can’t work out how you used to put “that many hours” in.
• You start taking regular 2 hour lunch breaks, even if its costing you money to do so.

If this is you, you are almost certainly well overdue for a really decent break. Take a month off and don’t think about work at all. You will come back only wanting half hour lunch breaks, totally understanding how all the big buildings and infrastructure got there and your 40 hour week will fly past and you’ll still be ready for more. This is when things happen!
