## Source excerpt

The goal of a developer retreat is to stop what you are doing for awhile and explore something new. This usually requires a shift in mindset, and the biggest shift is to suspend the focus around productivity and urgency. It's important to give up the idea that "we must accomplish something in an amount of time." Only with the sigh of relief that comes from liberating yourself from goals is your brain allowed to float to the most interesting places.
