21/8 – The Eight Day Week
My friend Melissa sent this great link to me:
“theeightdayweek.com – if i was kid free, i’d do it :)”
This idea has always intrigued me! Although in the other direction – to get 25 hours out of each day and adjusting my clock to that. This idea is to live by a 21-hour clock.
I like the description:
“When you live this unusual time rhythm you perceive the world around you from another perspective. It is like being somewhere else. Strange situations, a feeling of being isolated as well as moments of tranquility are just some of the results. The perception of time and the every day life changes.”
These are all the points that I LOVE about long distance backpacking into the wilderness, so I’m going to try this out soon. Also, not to be overlooked is the added benefit of sometimes being in the same time-zones of my friends and family all over the world!

Isnt it GREAT though? I love not knowing what day of the week it is, or what month even!

Since I finished working at a regular job, I find myself somewhat disoriented at times. There is nothing to distinguish between one day and the next. No longer is the concept of “week” meaningful. Days are a never-ending series with no milestones and no “weekends” to look forward to. Months go by, without a sense of time passing. Suddenly something that was a long way off is two days away – oops!

like always? wha? you must take me for some kind of hussy.
Olivia Meiring
oh shut it Shea! You'll get some round the corner like always. I haven't had ANY FOR OVER 2 MONTHS!!! Not that I'm trying to, but still it is freaking hard man.

shave an hour or so off sleeping, or none at all, depends on how much time you want during your awake day. as for the sex deprivation, not too much to help out with that lol
Shea Bella
wait…is it saying to only get 4 hours of sleep every night? because i don't think that is good for you, right? i mean, that is why people get bags under their eyes. right? or am i thinking of sex deprivation. which is having a LOVELY affect on me by the way.
