What I mean by this is no leaving the house, no electronics (no phone/computer/tv/music) no other people at all, no clocks (eat when you want, sleep when you want/with the sun).

Went from about 6PM on Friday until about 6PM today.

First of all, I knew I was tired but, holy crap. In the first 24 hours, I slept for 16 of them. It was the only thing I wanted to do.

Second of all, this very much felt like a vacation. I didn't get bored until this morning. I was so happy to not feel any pressure or obligations. My phone was off until this morning (I had to use it to do laundry at my apartment), but I kept it on airplane mode so I couldn't get messages or go online. And multiple times today I saw the time when I couldn't help it. By 4:30pm today I decided I'm leaving the clock on and somewhere around 6 maybe earlier I called it and brought the internet back.

Third, it helped show how wildly overstimulated I usually am. Turning my phone and TV off and avoiding other people released a lot of tension in my body.

I decided reading books was okay, but interestingly, the books I had (one personal finance and the other Walden) kind of brought that tension back, so I limited those. I mostly cooked, played keyboard, slept, sat with my thoughts and meditated.

Can't recommend this enough and I think I'll be setting chunks of time aside to do this more in the future.
