Jake's UMOP - CLOSED!

[Jake2015]

So based on the above:

Doing 11 loops is amazing for me = "12hours 28mins"

5 Loops isnt as good but its still going to help me compared to the current 3 loops = "5hours 40mins."

6 Loops is the 3rd option but wouldnt be as effective in the long run.



I have been trying to figure out how to get 11 loops into my day on a consistent basis.

I have tried to really figure it out and cannot see any credible way.

Assuming I wake up at 6am, then I need to start playing the sub from around 5.30pm.

I cannot play USilent, since the speakers I have that play 20khz are positioned well around my bed and are not portable at all.

I need portability since I am not only in my living room, but move around of course from the lavatory to the kitchen to the bathroom for a shower to the living room etc - so something portable that can play masked.

This means a stereo speaker not a mono which mobile phones are and we know mono arent effective and I as a heavy resistor need to try and do this right!

So it means getting a new mp3 player that can play flac, is affordable and then to purchase a new portable stereo speaker which then I use from 5.30pm in my apartment and then take everywhere with me and then eventually back to my bedroom and leave it on there.

This just isnt feasible

I know my nature, I will become so fixated on the speaker and making sure I am listening right and taking it everywhere that I wont focus on anything else I feel.

I also know that spending more money isnt feasible for me at all.

Most of all I also know that I will have days, when I need to leave the apartment or have friends come over, to chill or study and having trickling stream will annoy them or confuse them especially as for now these subs are a private part of my life and not something I can advertise UNTIL I start seeing results.

I also have used mask and for me its just pointless watching a movie or show as it always interefers and I end up either turning the laptop volume up or the mask - something always ends up losing in the end!




I really really want to do the best for me but the logistics are not on my side.

In the past for anyone reading this, I had tried sleep headphones and they were very sore for my ears - just the way my head and ears are shaped.

I have also tried headphones and know from experience that after 1 hour my ears do get warm or slightly uncomfortable which could be subconscious so I know this doesnt work for me either.

I had just before working all this out, spent a few hours researching portable speakers and portable mp3 players before realising that this is not possible for me since im not at home or living out of my basement but at uni abroad and travelling to and from the UK does play a part in breaking consistency which I also have to factor in and work around.

So far the things I have bought for these IML subs are:

A2+ audio engine speakers - $280 / £200

Sony NWZ-B183B Portable Walkman - $60 / £40

Bose Bose AE2w Bluetooth Headphones - $280 / £200

Total: $620 / £440

I think its fair to say I should use what I have and not spend a penny more.

Therefore the best option for me at this stage is to use the sub for the 5 loops and hope for the best.

Use it at night, whilst sleeping using the A2+ speakers connected and playing through my phone.

Thanks

Extra: I should also mention that I will also be starting soon with a personal trainer and im sure going to and from the gym (7mins awake away) will make life tricky too to fit in 11 loops.
