Well I'm not going to lie, it's very difficult. I'm semi-used to it by now though. Exercise, a regular good sleep pattern, eating well etc. all help.
The not leaving the house (and not seeing friends) for 2 weeks thing can be hard, mentally, but tbh I've found that even when you get a spare 30 minutes to drive to get some fresh air or go to a shop can help.
And to be frank, you're just not going to play your Absolute A-game in that environment for 2 weeks for like 8-14 hours a day non-stop, it's just not possible. But just try to make the most of it, and play a solid B-game throughout for example.
For the 3 2k FTs that I reached last SCOOP (thinly veiled brag), the first day ended just after the FT was reached. So Day 2 had 6-8 players to start in those 3 cases. I think that was mostly about the case for the Highs, but the mids and lows are quite different, with generally far more. I guess around 30-40 depending on the field size and structure
