It's generally easier and quicker to do the full program over from the beginning, rather than try using the refresher prematurely. Only to realise weeks and weeks down the road it isn't working and you're resisting tons of stuff and exhausted and depressed all the time, or not growing as well as you should. And then have to go back and start again. By that time, you could've been well through stage 1, or even onto stage 2. See what I'm saying? Plus you get the full benefit of the program that way. There's also the issue of subconscious boredom, a phenomenon some experience, where after a few months of the same script, your mind begins stonewalling and no progress is made as it ignores the script. This happens to people often enough that it's one of the reasons Shannon created the multi-stage program. To keep the mind engaged with new material every 32 days to prevent boredom. That's an important thing to consider, friend.
The thing is, I listened for a lot of hours, more than most, to make sure my foundation was solid enough to handle SM3 right after. I think I did a pretty good job, it wasn't easy, a lot of lifestyle changes needed to be made and there was a lot of discipline involved to make SURE I got my all of my hours each day! I planned this SM3 run in September! Most people can't get as many hours as me, or don't have enough command of the bulletpoints at the end in order to go onto a magnet right away. I was fortunate, it took time, about 2/3rd's of the way through AM6, somewhere in stage 4, where I was almost positive the run was going to be solid enough. Much like my current SM3 run, it's taken me time to see any REAL progress. I'm already pretty confident, and very social etc., so a lot of those early changes these two subs made, aren't big enough for me to notice, or aren't necessary in my case. So, for me, I've learned these two take time to make their presence known to me. I'm in stage 4 of SM3 now, maybe the trend will continue haha! I hope so, I can't wait to see Jacobz like results haha ...
On topic, if you don't have TRUTHFUL command of the bulletpoints, then a redo of the full program is needed. Even Shannon says 2-3 runs before relying on the refreshers is best. I quoted that quote earlier, right from Shannon's words in the AM6 manual. It's important to have a long term approach here, stick to doing the full program, until you've done 3 full runthroughs, then you'll likely be able to handle the refresher and do well with it.
