Plan a gap year or career break

Help me plan a career break or gap year.

How long: [e.g. 6 months]
When: [start date]
What I want from it: [e.g. travel, rest, learn, family, try a new field]
My job situation: [e.g. agreed sabbatical, will resign, freelance]
Money: [savings and monthly costs, roughly; or leave blank]
Commitments: [e.g. rent, kids, pets, car]

Ask me up to 4 questions first if anything important is missing. Wait for my answers.

Then:
1. Clear goals for the break.
2. A timeline: before, during, and the return.
3. A budget outline with blanks for me to fill in.
4. What to sort before I go (work, home, admin), including checking my National Insurance record on GOV.UK for any gaps the break could leave.
5. How to describe the break on my CV and in interviews.

UK English. Don't guess costs.
