"Cocoon mode" was an idea of basically becoming "anti-social" for a period of time with a greater singular focus on getting work done. Like a caterpillar going in to a cocoon to become a butterfly.
 
Anyone have any experience with this?
 
How did it go?
 
Would you do it again?
 
Tips for doing it well?

I have not heard of or tried "coccoon mode" but it sounds possibly useful for a short time.
 
Keep getting sunlight and enjoying nature. Limit you social time but don't completely cut people out or your relationships will suffer.

I don't know. I've been trying to make plans to move out but I have no idea how to get a job and an apartment. I think If I had my own place then i'd be able to get more work done.

> how to get a job
 
there's a book "what color is your parachute" that has this "flower exercise" where you write down things you're good at, things you like doing, things people want to pay people to do. May help give some ideas if you're trying to figure out what jobs you want or businesses to start.
 
Then you can find job board websites and send in applications. Or go around town and look for help wanted signs, talk to the people inside. Or find businesses you like and ask them if they need help (sometimes positions aren't advertised).
 
> get an apartment
 
can also find listings online, or like on craigslist. Can ask around and find roommates? Find listings of apartment complexes in your area. Can save money if you just live at home though if that's what you're doing. Just leave the house more maybe.
