In the book "Wanting", the author has a bit explaining silent retreats, which are basically vacations where no one is allowed to talk and everyone reads. I thought they were an interesting idea to kind of test out monkhood. Similarly, I have always wanted to try John Carmack's idea of taking a computer away to a hotel for a week and working on a project and ordering room service
- kreeben 5y agoThis is really geeky, but I've taken the short trip cross the sound to Copenhagen at least three times in the last five years to have a weekend with me, myself and my laptop. Smoke weed, eat and drink hotel food and hack away at my hobby project. I've never felt so refreshed and happy than after a weekend like that. Highly recommend it.

- jandrewrogers 5y agoMy version of the Carmack thing is taking my laptop on boat to Alaska and back for a week. Very limited internet access, relaxing scenery, and no interruptions. These have proven to be extremely productive weeks.
