I've taken a couple breaks in between jobs, and I've come to realize that I have my very best work-life balance while unemployed. It's uncanny.

I work hard on my community projects, and then actually go out and socialize when I'm tired of working. Sometimes that's every night, but sometimes (if I'm feeling invigorated by a task), I will work nonstop for a week, before I need a social recharge.

Obviously, that is a single person's perspective of it, but I feel like it would be comparable if I'd been in a relationship :)

Same here. The 1-2 months I usually take off between jobs is always super productive. I do a lot of reading, write blog posts, hack out stuff.

So you quit before you search for a new job? Most job offers I see are ASAP.

I just tell the next company that I will join on date X. I don't care about their ASAPs.
