I've discovered later than I should that for me, I need at least a two week break from time to time.

I need actual holiday where I don't answer emails or even do what I used to consider the minimum required. From an outside perspective, that's always been obvious to me and I've always understood that people need it, I just never applied it to myself.

Inadvertently holiday time is often when my best ideas come.

So you are still thinking about work? My best ideas come during work. During vacation, I don't think of anything work related but mostly philosophizing.
