Mike, Your homework assignment may also include no emails, no board chats, etc. either. You may need clarification on that, but I would suspect your "C" would include this type of communication as well.
It's difficult for some people to be alone and others relish that alone time. It will take some practice, but you'll be able to do it to a degree. You can start practicing for that night be weaning yourself off of one call per day, etc. until that one night of testing. You can do it!
Sit quietly, the answers will reveal themselves when you least expect them to. The past is gone, the present is a gift and you need to focus on today, allow the future to reveal itself when it is ready.
