Shannon said this in someones UMS journal:
"I think, after observing everyone so far, that instead of increasing the number of loops per day or days doing loops, if you want to do something along those lines, you should be experimenting with decreasing your days off gradually."
That sounds about right. I started my first week of UMS with 3 days on, 5 days off which felt too little. Then I increased to 5 days on 2 days off which seemed a bit too much as I woke up rather tired at the 6th day and was also tired at 7.th day. Now, after those 2 days off Im at 3th week, and have listened 3 days. I feel I need a bit rest again. I have a feeling that 3 days on and 4 days off might do the trick, and that is what I will do this week. Just wanted to give myself guidelines here so that I dont wander off...and a quick notice for Shannon that, at least for me, 3 days might indeed be the good number of on days, while the concept of decreasing number of days off (gradually) might be a good idea. 5 days off was too much, 2 days off too little, at least for now...so lets see by the sunday if 3:4 is a sweet spot, as my gut says its at least close to my ideal usage pattern. Might be 3:3 as well , but I think Im getting close...lets see.
