Most leaders walk into sabbatical with a vague idea and a hope. They imagine they'll figure it out as they go. A few weeks in, they realize each day is bleeding into the next, the time is slipping away, and they're not entirely sure what they're doing with it. The leaders who walk out of sabbatical transformed do something different. They build a plan. Not a rigid, hour-by-hour itinerary. A framework. Part structure, part freedom. Enough order to give the time shape, enough space to let the rest actually land. In this episode, Alan Briggs walks through five practical blocks every sabbatical plan needs and shows you how to sketch yours out on a single piece of paper. Who this episode is for If you're getting closer to your sabbatical and starting to realize "I'll figure it out as I go" isn't a plan. If you've blocked the time off but you have no idea what to actually do with it. If you're worried you'll get a few weeks in and feel bored, restless, or guilty. If you've already started planning and want a clear framework to test it against. This one is for you. What you'll take away The sabbatical philosophy that separates a transformative experience from a forgettable one: part structure, part freedomWhy detox week comes first, what it should actually look like, and why sweatpants and your own couch beat a beach in week oneA clear timeline structure you can draw in your journal today, from the 50% week before your sabbatical to the 50% week as you returnThe five blocks every sabbatical plan needs: something for you, something for your spouse, something for the two of you, something for your family, and something for your soulWhy co-designing this with your spouse changes everything, and how to push past the "this is your sabbatical, you decide" responseThe thaw process every leader experiences and why your soul shows up freshest at the very end (which is exactly why reflection time belongs at the back)How to plan a re-entry that doesn't undo everything your sabbatical just gave you Quotes worth sitting with "This does not have to be exotic. This does not have to be expensive." "Usually the most restorative stuff is the cheapest stuff." "Your soul tends to be freshest at the very end of the sabbatical." "We want you to come back ready to risk some new things based on what God revealed during your sabbatical." "Your heart and soul need time between these. Try to space them out." Reflection questions If you sketched out your sabbatical timeline today, where would the gaps be? What's missing that you haven't given yourself permission to plan for? What does your spouse actually want from this season, and have you asked them yet? What kind of reflection space have you built in at the end of your sabbatical to capture what God is showing you, before you walk back into work?
