No radio, no podcast, no talking. Until midday.
Silence is not empty, it is just unfamiliar. Most of us have not experienced three consecutive hours of it since childhood.

What surfaces in the third hour is the reason people keep doing this.
How to actually do it
- 01Pick the morning and tell the household in advance.
- 02No audio of any kind until midday.
- 03Write one paragraph afterwards about what came up.
You already know if this is the one. Go put a date on it.
