    Monk Mode can disguise withdrawal from life and risk-taking as personal development.

    The problem is Monk Mode justifies a retreat from your life, a retreat from risk taking and adventure, and repackages it as self development.

    Monk Mode should generally be limited to three-to-six-month periods.

    Three to six months is a really good sweet spot in my experience.

    Extreme solitary practice can prevent people from applying their development publicly.

    Private practice in the extreme results in no public performance.
