March 13–19, 2026

This wasn’t really a creative week. It turned into a technical one.

I spent most of last weekend wrestling with my new V-Drums setup—trying to get everything working the way it should. Recording cleanly, playing without lag, making sure nothing falls apart once everything is connected. It’s the usual story: better gear, more possibilities… and a lot more things that can go wrong. There were moments where I caught myself thinking the older setup might have been better simply because it just worked. But this is where I am now, so I’ll figure it out.

The workweek itself was busy. No surprises there. Today was my annual health check, which included the camera down the nose into the stomach. That’s something I’m perfectly fine never doing again. When I got home, I took some CBD, slept for a bit, and woke up to a pile of emails. Day off or not, things keep moving. I dealt with what I could. Life out here continues at its own steady pace. The weather’s starting to warm up, which helps.

Somewhere in between all of this, I’ve been thinking again about the Diane Method—not in theory, but in terms of what it actually does in real life. I think I’m starting to see it more clearly now.

It feels less like a system and more like an experiment I’ve been running over the past few months. And I don’t regret it. Even if I shut the site down at the end of the year, I’ll be fine with that. The intensity around it has cooled, but that doesn’t mean it didn’t have value.

If I had to sum it up right now, I’d say this: if you’re already moving in a better direction—if your anxiety is easing, if your head is a little clearer—then this kind of truth-telling can help things along. It gives you something to focus on. It keeps your mind engaged. And forcing yourself to be honest, even in small ways, seems to cut through a lot of unnecessary noise.

But if you’re deep in it, really stuck, I don’t think this is what pulls you out. It’s not a reset button. It’s not a cure. It’s more like something that works alongside whatever momentum is already there.

That’s where I’ve landed for now. Not dismissing it. Not overselling it. Just seeing it for what it is.
