Customs listening protocol advice (and core choice advice!)

Questions and Comments
#1

Hey all,

My stack, starting shortly, is going to be two customs, each with two cores.
I’m not sure whether this counts as a 3-sub stack (due to having a total of 4 cores), and hence should follow the Alternating listening pattern for a stack of 3 titles (from the current Instruction Manual)?

Or, since it’s two customs, just listen to both on the same day; one in the morning and one in the evening, for example? And hence follow the standard 2-title listening pattern (one day on, one day off)?

If it helps, for context, the two cores in each custom are pretty well-aligned and related, with no more than 10 modules in each.

Custom 1: Paragon & Paragon Sleep (both are the 2026 versions; and would probably listen to this custom in the evenings)

Custom 2: Wanted Dream Boy & Summertime.

Another option is just to run a WDB custom solo (alongside the Paragon & Paragon Sleep custom).
But I recall @SaintSovereign talking about how well-aligned WDB and Summertime were, hence why I got the idea to run both titles in a custom (and because both titles hugely appeal to me, for various reasons which I can discuss should you wish) :slight_smile:

Anyway, hope you all can advise :slight_smile:

How many modules in each?

This :slight_smile:
9 in the Paragon & Paragon Sleep custom, 10 in the WDB & Summertime custom, to be exact

You’re fine with this. I’d say trying running them on separate days for a week or two and see how you feel.

Alternating days to start. You’ll want a little extra processing time with 2 customs.

Thanks to you both!
One other thing I’m wondering though, is whether to just run WDB as a solo custom (same 10 modules, but no Summertime) alongside the Paragon & Paragon Sleep custom.

I definitely have the ‘guard up’ and hyper-vigilant nervous system, and nervous system dysregulation generally. But on the other hand, I’m starting a some new things right now (just joined a mentorship/coaching programme for life change, diet, weight-loss, mindset etc), trying to get out of a period of depression (hence signing up for that programme) and really don’t want to be dealing with bad recon during the next 6 months :flushed:

Summertime is a strange title in that, as I read through the product copy and objectives, especially the first time, I found myself feeling repulsed by some and being massively drawn to others.

I’m pretty sure this title is likely to give me a lot of recon for this very reason.

Conversely I think if I run it for a substantial length of time (6 months+?), the benefits could be incalculable and genuinely transformative for me.
But yeah… ironically, right now I just want to be happy and productive :sweat_smile:
And plus a single core custom would get me down to 3 cores total, which would be more optimal.
And I’d love to see WDB doing its thing as I grow and change.

So. Thoughts, suggestions? :sweat_smile:
