Nice! This looks like an awesome layout. I am going to be offline for a few weeks practicing while you're practicing your second half, but I am looking forward to what I can read of this thread in the meantime.
sewing together all the sits with mindfulness of the senses at all times
Yeah, I totally agree with this. There is so much benefit in this. I was just writing with Nick over in the "Access concentration and 1st jhana" thread that saṅkhāra is like carpal tunnel of the mind, and that skhanda needs a break. Mindfulness at the senses is accessible, is always there, and can cause such amazing peace and concentration --- just doing regular ol' stuff. It is like a quiet bulldozer moving some saṅkhāra junk off the mind and letting the other skhandas rise up.
Anything that would be helpful to get this done? Personal experiences?
So my "best experiences" are in the loose zone of open sensate awareness. It's volition-free except for willingness to be here. The mind is just totally contented with whatever it is sensing. It is like the mind is in constant "great bed-side manner mode". Or a modality of pure listening.
Also: paying bills in advance is helpful, taking walks in fresh air, not being online. It's just one month and what a great opportunity.
Go Moe!
