go an entire day without speaking

many times.

....my goal is 36 hours without speaking a word.

I’m enjoying it immensely. By making communication so difficult, one focuses on what’s most important. No bickering, no arguing, no ‘making a point’, no filling converational lulls (which ought to be enjoyed).

when my parents were away for holidays i was alone at home all the day without speaking a word, but the problem is when i’m alone i start to talk to myself, you know think loud out… people sometimes say that i talk tooo much, maybe i should start with talking less first…

i’ve been talking less and less. i wonder if anyone’s ever just decided they wanted to stop talking altogether.

now that i’m so very busy, i think i will take a day off to do this. like actually plan it carefully. this is a difficult thing to accomplish!

this seems like it’d be tough!

I had to write “I’ve taken a vow of silence today” on the back of my hand so people would understand. Turning off my cell phone helped also.

i tried it once. it’s very difficult if you go out of your house. if you stay in, it’d be a bit easier. i tried this in college and lasted about 4 hours, maybe. my friends started to become mad at me for not speaking to them, so i had to explain.
