Done it - with full-time semester courses to study. I gave myself goals, ex: you can't wash your hair until you finish this or that. Criminal justice and abnormal behavior courses. When I finally emerge from my home to buy food or if a JW comes to my door, I speak or try to. Not much comes out at first. Talking and hearing my voice would stop me from talking, because it didn't feel right, mostly because there really wasn't anyone I wanted to talk to anyways.

I'm going to need books and my rattie boy.....and I'm good. We live alone together anyhow....

Easy peasy...I could do it for 5 months if I had to...and be just fine

I have done so a number of times and it is not a big thing to do. Snipers have done so a number of times in the service.

Give me,books,a bottle of Jack and a log cabin, and I would be there,for 5 weeks,not 5 days.

A typical work week.

@EmeraldJewel I can definitely do it for a long period of time. The time I spend disconnected allows me to evaluate my life and just be if that’s all I want. I enjoy (limited time) being around people and technology, but not enough to constantly want it. #disconnect

Gladly

Oh yes please! Five days to myself to chill out and put my thoughts in order sounds fab. Do I get a view to look at though?

Actually I might even relish it- Get some serious writing done, even though it would have to be longhand!

Just like real life?

time to fall asleep for 5 days

Sound like a typical week for me.

Pretty sure I could. Survived a 10-day silent Vipassana meditation workshop. No talking, books, writing, phone, TV, meat (non-issue), smoking (ditto), booze, sex, etc. Ten days of nothing but learning the meditation technique on a fixed schedule, interrupted by mundane activities (i.e., eating, bathing, sleeping).

No problem

The 'rules' are not explained well enough. Could there be books, for example? Would creature comforts; water, foods, addictive coffees/teas be provided?
Would one be isolated in a room, or a cabin in a distant woods, or perhaps an island?
For me, with foodstuffs, access to outdoors, the temperature reasonable, by whatever method, and an assortment of books, my tenure there might run quite a bit longer than a week.

Absolutely. The peace sounds blissful.

Would my work allow it? No. Could I do it? Happily and easily.

I could do it, but how much is the pay?

i sure could do this with ease, i sure can't understand why this would see like a problem. I doubt i will ever get to do it, and i guess without access to anyone, how would anyone know ?

Nothing to it. What's the pay?

Maybe, but doubt it !

I spent 2 months this last winter in the mountains of Utah at 9,000 ft. I did have my dog with me . Does that count?

Do I have books? A computer? A TV? Food and wine? Yes. One of my favorite times, was after a major hurricane and we had no electricity for two weeks. We didn't go out because of all the trees down and traffic lights not working. I loved it. Had candles food and books. Luckily I had water. The only think I missed: COFFEE.

Yep
