How To Make "Taking A Break" more +EV?

[GrunchCan]

I agree with mason. I took a break once a while back when I started running bad & playing poorly. My motivation was lacking, and I was not doing well. I took 6 weeks off from poker totally. I didn't play, I didn't post, I didn't read anything. I didn't even watch poker on TV, and I ddidn't play my semi-regular home game with friends.

When I came back I was totally re-energized & clobbered the game again.
