I believe a more useful tact would be to have a realistic strategy or tactic for taking some time off to get a better focus on the larger picture. (for those that make less than 250,000 a year US$) It often is easy for one who has put their time in and been successful (may we all work that hard) to offer seemingly high-handed advice. This could be interpreted as pontificated or shouting from an ivory tower tomix metaphors. Instead, if the purpose of the message is to help people and change behaviors, couch the lesson in a reachable anecdote if that makes sense. Speaking of making sense, not sure that last bit did in the paragraph above!! I agree with the comments shared above.
