I'm a huge believer that time off is really when our brain turns on and we have our best ideas. This is consistent with academic practice and companies that promote creative mindsets (ie Google) by offering 20% time for the employees and faculty to explore their ideas and innovate. If institutions want to promote innovation, it seems that time off for the employees may confer huge returns.
