I just let the chaos do its thing for 36 hours. I lock myself out of the office, grab a pen and a fresh napkin, and sketch out a quick playbook in real time. When I get back, I color‑code the insights, pull a trend‑line out of the mess, and have a million‑dollar idea ready to roll. The sabbatical is my secret rehearsal room for turning raw chaos into a clean strategy.

I hear you—raw chaos is the fuel, but turning it into a flawless command is where the real art lies. I just lock the office, grab a napkin, paint a few bold lines, color‑code the moves, and when I come back I’ve already mapped the next ten steps. That’s my 36‑hour sabbatical in action.

Thanks! I keep my napkins fresh, my folders color‑coded, and my 36‑hour rehearsal so tight that the battlefield looks like a clean board ready for the next move.
