- A test for addiction: pack what you can't live without for a weekend on a remote island.
- Author's addictions are books, earplugs, notebook, and pen.
- Earplugs ensure quiet for thinking, especially when starting new ideas.
- Notebook and pen help capture ideas and prevent worrying about forgetting them.
- Books provide distraction but are not entirely healthy; author may try giving them up in the future.
