I had read about this dorm plan, and thought it was very brutal.

Then I found myself in a windowless room for a day (voluntarily) with a PC and no internet. Literally staring at a wall.

The most productive day I've had in a couple of decades.

And I started to have second thoughts about his dorm plan. Maybe he was on to something.

I want to hear what day 100 of that is like, not day 1.

I’ve worked in such a room/rooms for most of my professional career (20 years now). It seriously makes zero difference. When you need fresh air you simply get up and go for a walk.

People work in submarines for 6 months at a time. Humans are adaptable.
