I've had multiple stretches this week where I've gone hours without talking, not even to myself. That got me thinking how long I could go without talking. Considering my job involves talking to people on a daily basis, I realistically couldn't go very long. But what if I had a job that didn't involve talking? Or what if I worked from home? Could I go days or weeks or even months? I think at some point I would go a little crazy and need some sort of human conversation. The other thing I would worry about is forgetting what my voice sounds like. I know that sounds silly, but if you don't hear it for awhile it might sound funny coming out of nowhere. Who knows, though.
This line of thinking started me down a whole series of how long could you go thoughts. For instance, how long could you go making nothing but right turns? One day? One week? One year?! Or how long could you go only eating the same thing? What about listening to the same song? It's an interesting thought. A little something to make life a little more interesting, maybe break a rut you might be in. I know that probably makes no sense to try to break a rut by doing the same thing over and over again. But it would be a fun experiment.
So what do you guys think? How long do you think you could go doing some of these things? What other scenarios could you propose for this question?
