Reset is so important and like you I learned too little, too late HOW important it is. I don't think I'm in a place where I can take a month off, especially with trying to get traction here on substack these days, but you have made me re-commit to doing my weekly sabbath with more intention: one day a week where I do not work, and focus on rest and recuperation!
What I've realized is that it doesn't have to be an all or nothing... After I wrote this post, I took 10 minutes and un-joined as many FB groups as I could. Just that one step made me feel lighter and seemed to free up space. Just a few steps like that to unclutter my world seem to help.
