I recently did something that might seem radical, but isn't: I took three months of paternity leave to help raise my baby son. Instead of meetings and conference calls, I spend my days changing diapers and singing lullabies. I love my job, but I wouldn't miss this opportunity for the world. In many ways, this is an exceptional opportunity. Companies today are more likely to offer paternity leave than in the past, but it's still not common.
It's no secret that having time off can lead to more creativity, less burnout and better work. Long weekends, vacation days, even an extended leave or sabbatical can do wonders for your return to the office. But if you really want to get better at your job, all you need to do is have a baby. Here's why. You learn how to maximize your time. Post-baby, your free time dwindles down to basically none. When they're up, you're parenting.
