In what order should I write the
programs?
Our users each have their own experiences,
circumstances, and needs. Some people benefit from
doing the Past Authoring exercise first. One
approach is to do the Present Authoring Faults
exercise first, to sharpen your sense of self
criticism, the Future Authoring exercise next, to
formulate a plan, then the Present Authoring Virtues
exercise, to think about capitalizing on your
strengths, and finally the Past Authoring exercise.
However, if you have significant issues in your past
that are still causing you some trouble, you might
consider starting with the Past Authoring exercise.
You should do it in the order that you think will
benefit you the most.
Can I download the program or write it
offline?
At this time there is no option to download the Self
Authoring programs and complete them offline. Some
people choose to complete the program in a
word-processor, or by hand, and put some filler text
in the program.
Another thing to be aware of is that the programs
are designed to keep track of your word count and to
have time limits. This is to keep answers below a
certain length, and so people don’t spend too much
time on a particular answer.
Can I write the program in any
language?
The programs are most effective when the writer is
working in their most fluent language, so it is
encouraged.
Does the program have an expiration after I
purchase it?
It does not expire, so you can take as long as you’d
like to complete the programs. Remember that you can
return to your work at any time. You do not have to
complete the programs in one sitting. In fact,
sleeping between periods of work likely helps the
process produce the changes in outlook and memory
reorganization that it is designed to produce.
Approximately how long does a single program
take?
Each program usually takes 4-5 hours, but we
recommend you divide this time up over multiple
sessions and beginning each session with a
refreshed, and well-rested mind.
