Oh this is super easy. Take time off and work on something on the side too. I did this (still am) and am loving it! I'm also based back home with my parents so not burning through savings. Here's how it's all shaking out: (1) working on a cool idea with an amazing friend that may turn into a viable startup (fingers crossed but you never know), (2) taking road trips as often as possible, and (3) learning at a 10x pace compared to when I was employed. I'd rate my employability at around 5-10x what it was before. The only 'downside' is you end up loving your freedom so much that you commit to fighting tooth and nail to keep it :)
