Looking to get the most out of your mini-retirement?
Retire Often Workbook
Thinking about taking a Career Break?
Sabbaticals can be trajectory changing. I’ve seen people improve their personal lives, finances, and careers with sabbaticals. But a mini-retirement is too a big financial and time commitment to “wing it”. In this workbook, I’ll show you the 4 steps you need to make sure you get the most from your time away.
Steps to Your Mini-Retirement
My proven framework will guide you through the steps in the workbook, ensuring that your time away is not only meaningful but also impactful.
Design your Mini-retirement Adventure
In Step 1 you’ll learn:
- How to choose your next mini-retirement adventure based on your values and goals
- Create distant phases of your time off to accomplish multiple goals
- Organize your days and weeks so the time isn’t wasted
- Map out your next 5 or 10 mini-retirements in a way that increases your financial freedom
Employment Strategy
In Step 2, you’ll learn:
- Negotiate one or two months off from your employer
- Craft your sabbatical story to explain your time off to your boss or in interviews
- Network to find an even better job after your career break
Finances
Step 3 is all about your budget:
- First figure out what your current spending is and how taking time off might change that
- Calculate how much you need for your mini-retirement adventure
- Create a plan for how to save that money
- Brainstorm future ways to increase income and investing so you can fund a lifetime of sabbaticals

all About Jillian
My Money Story
I started my financial journey at 19 with $55,000 of debt. Adam and I didn’t have high-earning jobs, but we still had big dreams. We wanted to be able to Retire Often and take mini-retirements to travel the world, adopt kids, and have financial freedom.
Over 20 years we took a dozen mini-retirement. We managed to pay off our debt, pay cash for our home, adopted 4 kids (and had 2 biological kids), bought rentals, traveled to 27 countries, and lived abroad.
At 32, I became financially independent, and we left our full-time jobs. We live in Kalispell Montana, near Glacier National Park with our 5 kids and travel half the year.
I host the Retire Often podcast, where people share their mini-retirement stories. The motivations, struggles, employment strategy, finances, logistics of their mini-retirement and how they Retire Often.
