I never know what day of the week it is when we are out there.  Never even think about it.  I keep a journal and from the beginning it is "day one", "day two" etc. and no mention of days of the week.  We do use a watch, mainly because of the diabetes and insulin and need to do the regular blood sugar checks, but time is very much unimportant otherwise.  Only for food and regular mealtimes.

We were out for 22 days once and I really thought that would satisfy me.  I was weepy all the way across the last portage, and we spent an extra couple hours on Poplar Lake just paddling around at the end of the trip because we weren't really ready to come in yet.  Still didn't want the trip to end!

Have considered, as Riversend suggests, making the move.  But for our situation it doesn't seem to work now.  We probably won't ever be able to do that.  But I wouldn't discourage anyone else from doing so.
