Any advice for a two month solo mediation retreat?

I feel I have obtained a will power hack so I can basically do sadhanas like a have full will power. 

[Leo Gura]

What is the longest solo retreat you've completed?

[ChrisZoZo]

@Leo Gura I think like 5 days but that was 3 hours a day of medation

[Leo Gura]

You are kidding yourself if you think you can pull off 2 months.

Pick something more realistic.

Remember, when it comes to meditation, quality is more important than quantity. It is pointless to do 2 months of shitty meditation.

Don't do it

[Girzo]

Two weeks are realistic for someone with little experience, if you leave home environment.

Thanks for the concern guys I was just looking for general advice I didn’t explain the situation. 
 

It’s not a meditation retreat as such (that not the main goal)  it’s rather just 2 months of near 0 distractions while I am not identified with the person identity. I have done this for 2 week before and it was very successful. Last time I didn’t really meditate much but I going in with the intention of a lot of meditation. If the “burning” is to much that’s fine as long as I don’t identify with the person. My method for this is to have a silent mind. 
 

so any advice knowing this

It is important to not have all or nothing thinking. It is important to have a silent mind and also an active mind. An active mind for asking questions and deep contemplation and a silent mind to incubate all of the answers from your questions. The way most people meditate is wrong. Counting your breaths or repeating a mantra is going to waste your time.

What you need is to deeply contemplate reality. You need to be deeply curious. Forcing yourself to have a silent mind is going to stunt curiosity. Let your mind wander on a specific topic of inquiry, then quiet the mind with the intention of gaining insight. What you are really after is insight, not no-mind. Place your intention on the former and not the latter.
