Thanks for writing it, it resonated with me a lot :)
And I didn’t apply to SF either. I did apply (late?) to EAG London and was rejected, after attending the previous one. But I was accepted to EAGx and went to Prague and had good fun and productive meetings. So the bit of anger at the rejection from London was quickly forgotten, and I wouldn’t have remembered it at all if not for this post.
Thanks for the comment! A digital sabbatical is basically a fancy-shmancy term for “I took a break from social media and from having an online presence and increased my focus on other projects.” I took a break from pretty much everything online, then added things back in gradually or limited certain sites or apps to strategically curate a better media/info diet.

Sounds amazing!
(I wrote a longer comment with thoughts about how this applies to me, but decided this wasn’t the right place for it.)
Thanks for the comment, Hayley! Btw, I loved seeing your dog Maple with the EAG swag in your original post, so cute 🥺 🐶
