I slept well tonight.
The weight is not there anymore.
It’s clear now that it wasn’t the subs, I was just sleep deprived.
I’ll still not take any chances though, I’ll still go back down in exposure.
I was thinking more about this, then I looked back at my listening history and realized that the last time I ran WB was April 2024 for 1 cycle.
That was more than a year ago. The longer runs were even farther back in time.
Is it even possible that the “dormant scripting” was dormant & able to be excavated more than a year after?
Anyway, I was also using low exposure with the run in April, but I was using around 10-30s range.
This was when I figured out my max was 24s before lethargy recon started entering.
I actually forgot about the results. From my journal, it was good, but not as good as now.
If it were as good as now, I’d have remembered it well.
I think the difference between my approach to the sub now vs back then is how I gauge the playtime not just by recon, but also by how well I’m adapting to the sub.
Back then I started to feel lethargy recon at 24-30s, which has been a big no-no for me for the longest time since it is the only type of recon that directly goes against my main goals.
But it was also clear that I got overwhelmed by some of the changes back then, though I didn’t know it because I didn’t really pay attention back then. My focus was fully on my other priorities.
Ideally, I don’t have to do this and should be able to just blast 30m while still getting maximum results like I do with DRR3, but the reality is not. I get many recon from WB. That’s why I need to find the sweetspot that works best for me.
Now it is around 4-7s, and I clearly have better results than back then.
I think the key is to find the range that allows you to adapt to it the best.
So including how it affects you in life into the equation is just as important as monitoring the recon.
If you don’t get any significant recon, but you are too unclear about how to follow its changes & what it is trying to help you change in the first place, consider lowering the exposure until you find a level where it is starting to become workable. In normal cases, journaling & taking action should be enough, but in my case with WB, prioritizing this first & foremost clearly works better.
I also hadn’t touched DRR yet at that time.
So it shows how true DRR’s “boosting every other sub going forward” claim is.
