I'm glad you are enjoying Oliver Burkeman's newsletter. I had the same reaction you had when I read that quote yesterday! And thanks for sharing the link to our podcast interview. I so enjoyed our conversation. Have a great trip!
Have an amazing trip to Rome and enjoy your time away! We'll all be here waiting when you return- refreshed, reenergized, and ready to resume similarly or perhaps in a different way. There's nothing like NOT doing and taking a break to shift perspective.
I'm reading Mckeown's book, Essentialism now. He reinforces the case for 'stepping away.' That means not working 24/7, getting enough sleep, doing the essential and leaving the unessential behind. So I'm with you 100% about those articles. If the point can be made in 400 words, why push it to 1,000 or 2,000. Less on the page gives your readers more to contemplate.
Happy travels, Kara! Looking forward to your discoveries upon your return. And PLEASE eat some pasta for me.

I'm also wishing the Pickles family well.
Have an amazing trip to Rome!!
I have read the Mr. Pickles story and love it because that is also the name of my 15 year old Chihuahua...ROCK ON Mr. Pickles...
I hope your trip to Rome is spectacular, all of us fans will be there with you in spirit.
Have a great time! As usual, this was spot-on for me today. Your work really helps me keep going<3
