I have done this 2+ week vacation approach. I basically chose to chill out and forget about work (as much as I could). When I got back, I was struck by the absurdity of the situation and quit soon after. Ever heard about the boiled frog analogy? You take a frog, put it into a pot of cold water and slowly turn the heat up. Being warm and cosy the poor thing doesn't realise that the water has gotten too hot until too late. Shuffling off to work is like that, you don't notice the slow increase in temperature until you are well done. Taking a vacation is like hopping out of the tepid water and then dipping a toe in later and realising just how hot the water has become.
