A Content Sabbatical
A need to rest & refocus...
I’ve put a huge amount of effort into content in 2023.
And I’d like to think that at least some of it has been useful.
But I’ve found myself obsessing over it; what do I write, will it hit the right notes, how is it performing…
You name it, I’ve stressed over it.
So after a week away in the Lakes & a chance to reflect, I need to take a break & regain some perspective.
As much as I have enjoyed committing my thoughts to (digital) paper, I can’t hide from the fact that I have two businesses to run first & foremost.
And it became clear to make last week that my priorities haven’t been in the right places.
But I would also like to say that this is more au revoir than it is goodbye.
I want to return to this newsletter in due course, but to do so, I need to better understand why I am writing it.
And to make it part of my wider vision, not just an “add-on”.
Take care, hope to be back soon,
- M




You've written some exceptional content Matt and I have found it really valuble and thought provoking. I understand the need to take a break. I've been less active on LinkedIn recently just because there's less time but need to get back to this.
The Lakes are stunning, hope you enjoyed it. We spent a night and a day in and around Ambleside and the drive out towards Glasgow was incredibly beautiful!
Hope to read your content again soon!
