I’m thinking of doing a washout on December and starting again on 2026.
It will be a washout of 31 days, is there any benefit to this or is it a waste of time?

I think its a good thing I have done a 3 week washout before a few years ago and got pretty good results and giving my mind a break was nice as well. I haven’t done it in a while since I only listen once a week now.
I believe @TheEmpress has done an extended washout before.

I’ve done two longer washouts by accident this year. Meaning I simply forgot or was guided by my subconscious.
And both involuntary washouts were highly beneficial, meaning certain subs bloomed when no new input came and claimed processing power all the time.

Shit now I might take an extended washout lol tbh I think with how chaotic the holidays can be, I think if you’re going to do an extended washout now is probably a good time

Yes I will take a washout until the end of the year, to clean my subconscious and clear the processing queue.

It depends mostly on how fast your SubC buffer processes stuff. Eventually you’ll get into diminishing returns the longer you wash out.
You’ll know intuitively when it’s time to start up again.

Yes that’s my concern, should I do a washout until I feel like I processed everything?
The way I do it is I think about running something, and I’ll either feel that it’s a good idea or I’ll get a sort of visceral “ugh” response.
That’s when I know it’s good to go vs best to wait.

Yes I have and it was really good for me too!
Edit: I’d say, take the wash out until you feel ready to start up again… you’ll get a sense…

Been on a washout for several months now.
No plan. Just haven’t felt like listening to anything.
I don’t remember when I ran my last loop. I think it was the new GLM. I think I ran it once.
Haven’t been following the forum either.
I usually do a month long washout once a year. Even my brain and my subconscious need a vacation from time to time.
