Feat
A Day of Silence
Silence is a rarity in today's world, but it's a staple of virtually all monastic and meditative traditions. For many, going 24 hours without talking be the most difficult feat to achieve. There can be no breaks of silence. Communication with others must be in written for, or via other non-verbal means. Ideally, the day of silence would also be a day of limited communication with others, as well as limited consumption of media, though these requirements are not strictly a part of the feat. Some inspiration here.

My wife and son are planning to go out of town on Sunday so that might be the day I try this.

The hardest part was not chatting with my dog.

Completed. Went for a run in the park and later went to read there. Met a neighbor who want to talk but I held up my "I am having a day of silence" note. Stayed in bed until my wife and son left at 9am. They did not get back until 9pm.

I started yesterday at 10am and am still being quiet today. It is rather nice.
