I have never heard of this and can think of two times in my early life (I'm now 67), when it would have served me well.
At 16 I thought I would become a doctor, but failed biology O level. The teacher was uninspiring as was the course. If I'd paused, I might have retaken and passed, keeping the door open.
The second time was going to university to study law at my father’s direction. I dropped out.
I should have paused, taken a year out to find my path. I didn't and my work life since has been aimless and unfulfilling.
