Feeling stuck in the daily grind? Discover the life-changing concept of mini-retirements—intentional career breaks that let you explore, recharge, and reconnect with your passions. If you think you have to wait until 65 to retire, think again! Inspired by Tim Ferriss's "4 Hour Work Week," instead of just mini-retirements (not vacations) can completely change your life (like it did for me)! Use your lay off to your advantage, quit your job, take a sabbatical, or design your career to allow you to live your life and pursue experiences and adventures now! Whether you're dreaming of traveling the world, learning a new skill, or just taking a break to recharge, mini-retirements can help you escape the monotony and create a life full of adventure and purpose. 👋🏻about me: hi, i'm kate! i make content on how to live your life to the fullest (social media detox, personal development, travel) and fund it properly (personal finance, career)! i'm so glad you made it here! 🎥 check out some of my other Youtube videos! 🎥 how deleting social media changed my life - https://youtu.be/mIoSV6lxKFo how getting laid off changed my life for the better - https://youtu.be/nndE20sVvSc how to solo-travel - https://youtu.be/F97GL-SlR9M are you losing your individuality to social media? - https://youtu.be/GqsftVxls2U 0:00 - Intro 0:55 - What is a "Mini Retirement" - "4 Hour Work Week" 1:37 - My Definition vs. Tim Ferriss 2:40 - How I Came to "Mini Retirements" (Burn out and the rat race) 4:28 - My "Mini Retirements" 7:25 - "Mini Retirements" vs. Vacations vs. Early Retirement 8:27 - Benefits of "Mini Retirements" 10:25 - How to take a "Mini Retirement" 13:26 - Don't Wait
