Micro-retirement, a concept revived from Timothy Ferriss's 2007 book "The 4-Hour Workweek," gains traction as individuals combat workplace burnout through periodic breaks. Unlike traditional sabbaticals, micro-retirements allow people to travel, pursue hobbies, or engage in local community activities while maintaining a work-life balance. Advocates like Adama Lorna promote the idea of enjoying life's pleasures now rather than deferring them until retirement age, and some envision a lifestyle where they work three years before embarking on extensive time off, leading a cycle of work and leisure without permanent retirement.
"Instead of waiting until you're 60 or 70 to travel the world and indulge in hobbies, you do them while you have your youth, your energy and health."
"Micro-retirement is a lifestyle choice, where individuals take time off from work every few years to recharge and focus on personal passions and well-being."
