Have fun on your Substack sabbatical... Substacktical

Totally understand. I’ve been through some difficult times myself, and my writing suffered because of it too. That being said, we’ll be here when you’re ready. Hope you’re able to come back feeling refreshed.

Have a good sabbatical! I’m in a profession where we get sabbaticals, and I have seen them do wonders for folks who are just plain exhausted. Peace to you, and may you have a great June!

Really appreciate this and couldn’t agree more. This is also a personal dial of mine that I can turn up or down as much as I want, and with everything else going on this month for me, it was a pretty easy decision in the end to turn it down (just for now!). Take care!

As someone who also had to set aside Substack for a month simply because of other things, I think it's great for you to recharge. A sabbatical is a good way of putting it too - we take leave from our jobs, why not the internet? (Because the algorithm doesn't let us! 😄)

Enjoy whatever you're doing on your time away. I'll be waiting here when you return

Thanks, Peter! Hoping to return to regular posting sometime in July when things have settled down a bit more. Of course, the addictive Substack algorithm with mean that I’m never really gone 😂

It's good to take some time to rest, especially with big life changes coming up. No worries and take care!
