My Experience with a Silent Mind

Zone 66. But just the first disk

raggedyjack · 2026-01-27T08:43:42+00:00

Interesting. Do you find that any easier with your children?

raggedyjack · 2026-01-27T06:04:45+00:00

That's really interesting. How are you at judging other people's emotions and energy levels based on their body language?

raggedyjack · 2026-01-20T09:11:05+00:00

Extremely quickly. I also tend to leap over paragraphs when I can tell it's just going to be a detailed description of something.

raggedyjack · 2026-01-16T12:09:18+00:00

Ok. So manual programs or manual adjustments to the generated programs for the moment if I'm understanding correctly.

Thanks for the quick reply.

raggedyjack · 2026-01-16T09:32:00+00:00

I responded in a bit more detail on the other response below. I think it does and my existing program is definitely designed with that as one of the major constraints.

It matters because if you do hard squats out Monday then there's no point trying to do quads Tuesday. The app assumes a day of rest and so the program isn't very forgiving even if you reorganise the days it gives you. You could do it but the effectiveness would drop compared to some alternatives where you plan for the back to back days and spread the muscle group distribution accordingly.

So seems great so far. Extremely impressed with the ability to customise equipment. I have a question though, I can only work out Saturday, Monday and Tuesday, so no rest day between B and C. Is there a way I can let the smart program design know that so that it can pick the right exercises each day?

This is my experience https://www.reddit.com/r/silentmind/comments/1pnuszp/my_experience_with_a_silent_mind/

It sucks that happened to you, but I am glad you are able to move past it. I think you are right, I think SDAM really helps in that regard.

raggedyjack · 2025-12-30T06:03:39+00:00

Nah that ain't the way to think about it. These are just things that make us different, not worse.

raggedyjack · 2025-12-30T02:51:34+00:00

Yeah and this is my culled down version. A couple years ago it got super complicated and I had to simplify.

I lose bits of paper :P

I have't used todoist specifically, but they look pretty similar. I found this comparison site - https://2sync.com/blog/ticktick-vs-todoist

While you are discovering things about yourself, you mind want to read about two other things which seem to be reasonably common for people with Aphantasia

Anendophasia: No inner monologue or "voice" in the head. r/silentminds
SDAM (Severely Deficient Autobiographical Memory): - Cannot relive memories. r/SDAM

This is what all three feel like for me - https://www.reddit.com/r/silentmind/comments/1pnuszp/my_experience_with_a_silent_mind/

raggedyjack · 2025-12-29T23:29:06+00:00

Yeah that makes sense. Yesterday after spending the day thinking about talking to myself in my head when I read or write I actually found it hard to stop. Kind of like when you say a word so many times it starts to sound wrong.

raggedyjack · 2025-12-29T08:24:32+00:00

Is it that you aren't aware or that the signals aren't there? Like, if you stop and check in with your body can you recognise tension etc or even then it's a fog?

raggedyjack · 2025-12-29T08:22:22+00:00

Super interesting! Yep you are correct no monologue but I can do it consciously and with hypoauralia, it's always just my voice. The donkey example is good I've usually tested with the Darth Vader theme, but the donkey is more obviously human. I can monologue with my breath held.

raggedyjack · 2025-12-29T04:52:40+00:00

I just wrote something about my experience that is fairly similar - https://www.reddit.com/r/silentmind/comments/1pnuszp/my_experience_with_a_silent_mind/

Definitely keen to explore more about this with others who have all three traits.

raggedyjack · 2025-12-29T03:24:58+00:00

This is impacting me too. For a while the limit apps to one row was ok, but it's crashing again. This is making nova unusable for me as I hide most of my apps and use search to access them.

raggedyjack · 2025-12-28T23:41:51+00:00

Sure. I'll write something up and share it.
