When I miss out on real solitary odd days, I accrue debts that need to be paid, one way or another.

I wonder if you can put time into a solitude 401k the way you can with sleep? That might work, too, or help a little when I know I’m going to be in for peopled immersion on odd days / too many days in a row. There’s definitely a limit, though, to how much you can sock away in advance.

Regardless, it’s costly. And the only way to really be able to count on myself to take care of it is to have more money, and less debt. Otherwise it’s expensive and stressful for everyone I’m close too, particularly my wife.
