Shannon's Journal Discussion Thread, Vol.9

[Shannon]

The important question here is - is your angus ready?  

Lmao, oh yeah, and ready to become a sikkunt, brah!

Every single time, I somehow read "angus" as "anus", and I was wondering for a moment why anyone would pepper theirs and what an Ewok had to do with it... lol

I'll take Kobe or Wagu, I don't read those as something so distateful to eat.

Do you expect to have the purchase page for all seven stages up this weekend?

I'm ready to pull that trigger when you are.

Feels like the calm before the storm for when Stage 0 gets released.

Really looking forward to this getting released and getting started with it.

I'm just waiting on getting over this cold I have.  It's on the recovery stage but I am still struggling with focus and concentration as of the 14th of February, so hopefully the 15th I'll be able to start working again.

I have to publish Stage 0 and then I will start working on making the Set-At-Once pre-order pages available.

Hope you feel better soon.

When you are back, I have a question. I'm on MLS 6G and I feel zapped of motivation to exercise or do anything. Is this normal?

Typically, a lack of motivation is an indication that some part of you is unhappy with what it's being asked to do, because it cannot prevent the request from being executed, or cannot prevent it forever.  The direction in which it appears is associated with whatever that part of you associates with the goal.  So apparently, some part of you associates learning with some sort of threat or undesirable outcome that results in losing motivation to be active.  This is normal when you encounter a deep, entrenched fear and it is being worked on.

I'm experiencing this very thing on UMS; didn't even shower for two days, despite being alert and doing busy work.
Haven't touched anything to do with money. Thanks for the reminder.

 Im on UMS3 too. 
 Funny when I use DRS 6G,I dont get any of that coz Im not resisting the same things. Again thanks for the reminder, Shannon. 
The journey continues.

Hello @Shannon !

Thanks for the info on the FRM and AM7's Stage 0 approach. I've at times thought about a Stage 0 for DMSI, like purely Goal #2 and Goal #4 with the most intense aggressive focus possible like AM7 seems to be. Could be interesting, maybe in time. Maybe it won't be necessary with the improvements made already as is. V5.1 seems to have a very solid foundation of what's needed.

Just curious, do you feel there is enough of a difference between FRM 6.1 and FRM 6.2 to warrant a re-release of DMSI V5.1? FRM 6.2 is the highest current version, right? Would it result in a tangible amount of execution difference, I mean? I'm all for improvement of it, just wondering whether the difference between both FRM versions is truly massive or more marginal in nature.

I will streamline my journal results offline, to then put into my online journal. Could help see some things.

I am not currently "with it" enough to remember clearly, but I think FRM in DMSI 5.1 is the same version as in 5.2, so if the version in 5.1 is FRM 6.1, I may have been mis-remembering the latest version because I'm sick.

The last upgrade I did to FRM was an optimization pass.  I'm not going to re-release 5.1 regardless of what the latest version is, because there's just too much work to do otherwise.  I'm sitting on a huge new experimental that's taken a back seat to Stage 0 and is just gathering dust instead of being built, and once that's done I have to return to working on the AM7 Stage 7 script, from which stages 1 through 6 get woven out.  That is an absolutely monstrous job, and once that's finished, I have to build Stage 1, and each stage after that must be done in time for the users to not lose momentum.  Once Stage 7 is finished, I may be able to build 2 or more stages a month, but given the whack shit going  on lately, I'm not going to hold my breath.  And on top of that I have a throat/lung infection that just will not die, and which is preventing work.

Even after AM is finished, I have a list of stuff to upgrade a football field long.  So going back to upgrade things because a module got a minor upgrade isn't happening.

I'm definitely itching to finish the instructions for Stage 0 and publish the damned thing.

Same. Lack of motivation for anything professional or financial. Good to know this means deep work is happening.

Thank you for the information, Shannon. I'll push through.

If the lack of motivation lasts more than a month straight, it is often helpful to take a break from the program and use something else for a while.
