Thanks for this, I like the idea of looking at it as a break after 20 years fulltime. It is a nice way to think about it.
Maybe any move to part time isn't a plan to be part time forever, just that it is the right thing right now. There's a lot of people who think the only way to achieve anything (ie starting/growing a business) is to put yourself 100% into it, which then costs time spent with family, hobbies and yourself etc. Maybe going a bit slower for a while on some parts of your life is the right thing to do, then to switch the balance later if/when it is appropriate.
