Shannon's Journal

[Shannon]

I have been in the same predicament when I went on vacation, so I just played it longer to equally compensate. I think Shannon has said that this is feasible in the past. If not, then I guess I will have to do what others have done, and start all over again which does sound enticing.
I know this will sound flippant or sarcastic, which is not my intent, but I truly wonder what would happen if I started listening to ALPHA in reverse, now that I am about done. Go back through 5 then 4 ...- I can hear the resounding NO.
It seem my brain sometimes enjoys reading and comprehending a subject from the end to the beginning. This is probably a tell tale sign of something, but it is the truth.

The solution is to follow the directions. It should be covered in the directions what to do in case of missing days, and if it's not, here's the rule of thumb.

If you miss a few days, add a few days at the end.

If you miss more than a few days, but less than a week add 1.25 days to the end per day you missed.

If you miss 1-2 weeks, add 1.5 days per day you missed.

If you miss more than 2 weeks, start that stage over.

Always try to avoid missing days whenever possible.

And as to the idea of doing ALPHA in reverse... it's designed specifically to be used as directed. Using it in reverse would be downright ridiculous, and would remove all the benefit of my years of effort in crafting it into the masterpiece that it is. Do you buy a Lamborghini and then put training wheels on it and drive it at 1.5 miles an hour? Do you read college books backwards? It just makes no sense.
