One true sentence? The work you were meant to do will still be there when you return.

In all of my years of stepping away to change it all up for rest, renewal, reconsideration of it all, I learned that nobody ever rushed in to do my work. Nobody ever took my job away from me and when I asked, why not? The answer is "I don't want to work as hard as you do." That includes everything from 16 to past 75. When you get back to whatever is yours to do, it's still there. One more thing. AI doesn't want to do my thinking and writing and interviews either.
