I've done this myself, looked out at a clear night and felt like I should get my telescope out and feel a little bad when I don't as if I'm wasting time. It's a bad mindset to get into.

Breaks are OK. Don't feel as if just because you haven't used your telescope for say 12 months that it's something bad. The way I look at it, this hobby is for life and as long as my eyes still work, I've got plenty of time to enjoy it. There's no rush.

Take a break. Nothing wrong with that.
Fantastic way to look at it

You are absolutely right.
