In terms of personal life, I'd keep spending time with my wife and son. On my connected day I would buy books and the other days I would read them -- almost as it is now, except I'd have to plan my purchases ahead.
In terms of work... well, what does complete network disconnect mean? As long as I have access to the office LAN I could probably still collaborate on code with my co-workers. Even if I didn't, we could, I suppose, pass USB sticks with code around the desks.
If we go even further disconnected than that, I.e. collaboration with co-workers only allowed on one day out of seven -- well, it'd be an interesting challenge. I'm always the lean advocate pushing for shorter cycle time and tighter deployments, so it'd go against my nature. But I can also imagine a strictly cadenced weekly integration working. We'd sure have to structure the work differently!
Maybe that would be an interesting thing to try just to see what one learns from it.
