Stage 5, Day 28
Last night was the end of my loops for Stage 5. I'll begin Stage 6 Monday night unless I feel like the break is too long, like I've already experienced with this stage.
I really want to summarize this stage, but I'm having a hard time doing that. It was pretty smooth. I was able to kick back, rest, and enjoy my holiday without feeling guilty for enjoying the down time. I still experienced post-Christmas depression but it was relatively minor compared to what I typically experience. I thought the same would apply to my back to work anxiety until I lost half a night's worth of sleep over it. The past week has been moderately productive work wise as I've eased back into the routine. I've been faithfully working out again. All in all, Stage 5 is what the description page says it is...a continuation of LTU6 that builds on previous stages. It's doing its thing slowly and steadily.
Some comments on the scripting technology:
Stages 1-3 (5.75G) - In my offline journal, I made notes that I might extend the stages to 48days if I run LTU6 again. I don't feel like 32 days is necessarily optimal for me, at least not for these stages. My reasoning is that (1) I felt like execution took a sharp upward turn toward the very end of the run and (2) ~Day56-63 is where I consistently began to experience boredom with LTU5. So, 48 days seems like the point where I would reach maximum execution of each stage without dipping into boredom territory.
Stage 4 (5.75.3G) - Similar to the above except that execution shot up ~day 20.
Stage 5 (5.75.4G) - Execution was pretty apparent in the first day or so. Here at the end of the cycle, it feels almost like I'm not running a sub at all (presumably b/c lack of resistance).
Stage 6 (5.75.5G) - I'm ready to find out
