+
+# Taking Time off
+
+### Minimum Offs
+
+We encourage you to take breaks, with peace. That requires psychological safety. Here is our attempt at enabling it. 
+
+1. **Sundays are a mandatory off** Work can wait 1 day. Don’t burn out. Take a break, stroll, and spend time on yourself.   Productivity requires discipline, not heroism. 
+2. **Mandatory 50 days off every year** Life will throw uncertainties. Account for it. Do not worry about being left behind. It'll be fine.  50 days off every year, accrued pro-rata every month; after the first 45 days. All days off above this threshold are likely to cost lost opportunities.
+
+
+
+### Plan your offs
+
+Account time for \(but not limited to\) the following:
+
+1. **Celebration time** Recommendation to take this after a significant project's completion.
+2. **Recovery time** When work output is suffering, take an off and reset yourself. 
+3. **Family time** They need you too. 
+4. **Vacation** Travel is the best way to expand horizons.
+5. **Health** You are likely to fall sick. 
+6. **External commitments** Sometimes they'll be unavoidable.
+
+
+
+### Requesting time off
+
+General rule of thumb is:   
+Days you’ll be away = Days of advance heads-up to give to your team.
+
+Send a request to your Junior Partner and they will help re-organise work so that your absence doesn't impact progress.
