To avoid confusion down the line, I will abbreviate the titles in my stack like this:
- GEM [Genesis Mogul]
- GOM [Godlike Masculinity]
- LL [Limitless]
I will be going with a non-standard 11+3 listening schedule to facilitate long-term ease of use and to ensure an extra integration/resting period mid-cycle. This means I will be doing 28 days / 4 weeks per cycle.
To achieve a steady flow of motivation and drive I will listen to Genesis Mogul and Limitless on separate days. Probably like this:
- Day 1 - Genesis Mogul | Godlike Masculinity
- Day 2 - Rest
- Day 3 - Limitless
- Day 4 - Rest
…
I created a detailed offline spreadsheet to accurately document my listening times and schedule. I am ready to go.
Start: Sunday, August 24, 2025

how did you make your text centered?
By using this piece of formatting:

To avoid confusion down the line, you should know that there are official abbreviations for the titles.
Genesis: Mogul → G:M or GM
Godlike Masculinity → GLM
Limitless → nothing official, if abbreviated mostly Lim
If someone reads GEM or GOM he’ll just be confused.

I am aware that there are some commonly used acronyms for the titles. But I use the acronyms I stated above in this journal for my own convenience. To make other people aware of that fact, I declared it.
I trust that people can read.

From now on, I will reformulate the term “rest” – in the sense of “a day without subliminal input” – as “integration”. This bit of reframing will help me to see input-free days as what they are at all times: processing, integration and consolidation.
I think you can get flac as an option in customs if you ever decide to go that route

Day 1Genesis Mogul 3:00
Godlike Masculinity 3:00
Listened to the titles directly after waking up. They put me back to slumber for half an hour. After getting up, I was deeply relaxed but lacking in mental clarity. I am going to cut the listening time by half. Slow and steady. It's a marathon after all.
Went for a walk. Ran into my landlord along the way. A bit small talk, then he gave me some career advice. I am not even surprised and feel like I am on autopilot. Thinking about it, the advice is interesting. Pointing at an angle I haven’t thought about.
Only now, an hour later, I am beginning to mentally wake up. Might be the caffeine though.

Getting noticeably tired in the afternoon. But I am learning Markdown just to learn something new.
Day 2Integration
Today things are just ever so slightly off. I am slightly restless. I am slightly less mentally clear. I feel a slight anger at intermittent intervals, like thunder in the far distance on a sunny day. Little pin pricks.
Nevertheless, I am having fun with Markdown. Learning about it led me to Zettlr, which I am playing around with at the moment. I am more of a LaTeX guy, traditionally. But I can see the appeal and the advantages of Markdown. Is this immediatly useful for me now? Apart from learning something new and stimulating my gray matter, not really. But I always benefited from learning and being able to use these types of framework languages later on.
Now that I am focussing on thinking and writing here for a minute, I am feeling content.
Your trust is well placed in the fact that people can read.
Even if you declared it, if you would like your journal more easy to read by other forum members, you can choose to use the commonly used acronyms.

Since I am using the actual names of the titles most of the time, the acronyms won’t be important. But I will compromise by adding descriptors like this: GEM GOM LL. Why do I bother to do that? Because in my eyes it is easier to misinterpret GM/G:M and GLM in a block of text than GEM and GOM. And since I am running both Genesis Mogul and Godlike Masculinity here, it does kind of bother me.
On another note, what I am missing from the posts of @Parsifal and you is a link to an actual list of commonly used acronyms. This would actually point everyone reading and thinking about this to a useful resource. The only thing I found resembling such a list was this post by @anon78457040, which is unfortunately deprecated and not maintained.
Update:
Reading this post again, I realize that it can come across a bit snotty. I am probably arguing more for the sake of argument, which is unfair to @RVconsultant.
If I am going as far as introducing descriptors to my acronyms, I can just as easily apply those same descriptors to the acronyms everybody else here is used to, to clarify which title I am talking about 
Still, a maintained acronym list or a dictionary as @anon78457040 called it would be nice.
Yes, I think it would be cool if every new member got a welcome message with the “dictionary”.
I remember that I struggled a bit in the beginning due to being unfamiliar with the lingo.

First thought on Limitless:
Louis, I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship.
Update:
It’s actually not the Casablanca version that is stuck on repeat in my mind

Day 3continued
Today is a good day. Good mood, the sun is shining. I had some extra time and went for a stroll in the city. Ended up visiting a perfume shop and chatted for almost an hour with the proprietress while sampling a range of summery fragrances. While I do like the aquatics, there were some really nice citrus and fruity ones.
After that I just had to take a route through the local park. The way the sun shone through the canopy and bathed the plant life in warm light was great.
What a wonderfully carefree summer day

Day 4Integration
Singing that I hear throughout the day is echoing endlessly on replay-loops in my mind. My baseline auditory and especially my auditory-linguistic memory is pretty good on a normal day, but right now it is kind of difficult to tune out those mind-replays when I am relaxing.
I had extended stretches like this throughout the past few years, where I even shunned music completely. Music is a pretty integral part of my life, so it’s not something I want avoid to feel ‘normal’. I realized back then that I can enjoy instrumental music without any drawbacks during those periods. Naturally, my instrumental music collection grew steadily since then.
Now, I am reaching for purely instrumental music once more. It’s like a mixture of having reached a maximum treshold of listening to sung words and having a need to immerse myself in wordless soundscapes. Interestingly, normal talking and written language seem to be completely separated from this.
It’s as if I have a need to temporarily avoid decoding or abstracting meaning of spoken words from sound. Just letting my brain being washed in sounds, decoding them without engaging in word processing. A bit like a fallback into a mode before language. Either something from a very young age in my life or something very old from an animalistic-evolutionary point of view. Or something completely different.
Be it from the rhyme structure, be it from the singing itself embedded in music, the words bypass some part of my conscious mind, embed themselves and replay non-stop. It’s really a trivial thing. But I want to develop a method for myself to be consciously able to stop this at will. My mind, my temple, my rules.
