1. Migrate as much as you can to the stats that regenerate action and mind (cant recall the names :smileytongue
2. Make a macro called Sample with the text:
/sample;
/pause 2;
/stand;
/pause 1;
/sit;
/pause x;
/macro sample
Check how long it takes for you, while sitting,to charge up all the mind and action you used when sampling.
Change the X in /pause x; to the amount of seconds it took, although it must be atleast 28.
3. Run through the macro a few times so you see you recharge all the mind and action and that you dont use /sample to frequently so it sais you can't sample for another Y seconds.
4.Find somewhere safe to sample, use /macro sample or a hotkey for it.
5. Go out, enjoy life, come back later and you have the XP

If you have medic skills instead of sitting and pausing to regen your action you can stim yourself and get back to sampling. If you get a good quickness buff you can skip pausing or stimming all together.

You have to include the /sit; and /stand; lines in the macro so that the popup windows won't stop you from sampling.

You sure you need both? I'm pretty sure I've only got /stand in mine.
Regardless, my point was about getting rid of the pauses so you can sample more and rest less.

No need to mess around with stat migration and heals, simply leavebig enough pauses for action & mind to recover. Put the macro on a toolbar and loop it. I left mine running overnight and I got about 12k xp. It took less than 2 days to grind Surv 3 & 4. The first example (above) of the macro seems fine, just put a big pause in (say 40 secs) before the macro loops again.

It's not OK, it's fantastic
You need to stop sampling to get around the messages you get, and you need /sit to regenerate mind/action faster

30 seconds between each sample reguardless of what you do, so don't waste that valuable time.
/stand;
/sample;
/pause 3;
/stand;
/sit;
/pause 28;
/ui action toolbarSlot00;
Stick this macro in F1 on the 1st toolbar set. It will loop over and over and avoid being stopped by the popups. + there is no need to worry about "resting"
If your stamina bar is already too low and your action still goes down over time use this macro.
/pause 1000;
/ui action toolbarSlot02;
/ui action toolbarSlot01;
Stick this in F2 and stick the Heal command in F3.
This way every 1000 seconds your toon will automatically use a stimpack on him/herself.

Meaning that it is exactly like mine... except that you have to stick it in the first spot of the hotkeys 
But, well, I hadn't really thought about stimpacks
