In the time I've started using Aneros massagers (and a couple other anal toys for that matter) I've read posts of people doing 2-3 sessions weekly. It sounds kinda cool and structured but I must be in the outfield here because I'm almost daily. Each time a toy has come in the mail I've been excited to try it out.
I'm not going to lie, I'm chasing a non-genital orgasm. According to the wiki, I'm at the milestone of feeling like there's leakage... And it's a nice feeling that results in cock checks from time to time. Based on a visual check of the list and understanding that different milestones have a different sense of weight from other milestones, I still recognize I have a pretty long way to go.
I'm trying to figure out if I'm in any way overdoing it. I told myself no genital orgasms starting today which is a bit of a change after 20 years of at least 1 session almost every day. I figure that could potentially help with the journey but I'm curious if daily is counterproductive.

This, in and of itself, can be a problem. On the KSMO forum Jack Johnston talks about our tendency to chase after an orgasm, a metaphor he frequently calls "Chasing the Fawn". Like a hunter chasing its prey, the prey naturally keeps wanting to flee and escape being taken, a prostate based orgasm is your prey but you may be chasing it away. Brute force, siege mentality will not work!
The solution is to coax this skittish entity to come to you through caring, loving, supportive seduction. You must make yourself the target for the Fawn to stalk and jump on you. How do you do that? You need to bait it. What is your bait? Your bait is physical and mental arousal. How you go about creating this arousal is totally up to you, but it is key to enticing prostate O's and Super-O's to pounce on you.

This seems like a siege mentality to me and IMHO is counterproductive. I think your time may be better spent working on setting the stage for the seduction to occur (please see Identifying Facilitators to Progress) and creatively making the bait as enticing as you can (please see Are you "aroused"? & Aneros, Arousal & Abstinence/Semen Retention).

Perhaps you are, you might just as easily ask 'would I get more from doing less?' The pursuit of prostate based orgasms requires a paradigm shift in thinking about the whole nature of What's an Orgasm?. I don't think traditional male thought processes of unrelenting pressure/effort is an optimal approach. I think that unpressured, relaxed, non-expectant, seductive approaches will serve you far better in your journey.
In response to your thread title Do you schedule/plan sessions? For the most part, NO, I try to listen to my body's 'whisperings' and when those whispers become loud enough I prioritize my activities to allow time intervals for an Anerosession to happen but I don't always exercise that time interval. I'm fortunate that I know I'll have time soon enough to have that desired session.
Good Vibes to You!
“I've read posts of people doing 2-3 sessions weekly. It sounds kinda cool and structured but I must be in the outfield here because I'm almost daily.”
It’s an individual thing with many factors including age,sex drive,length of sessions, among other things. Some people do plan them,others do once a week,some do multiple sessions per day. When I trained A-Less,I had sessions when I had time. Mine tended to be short,sometimes one a day,sometimes twice a day. I noted often the second session was even better. You just have to work out what works for you.

Chasing/addiction can be counter productive. Too much expectation can lead to frustration which will just kill things off.

If your having sessions but getting nothing,then maybe,that’s difficult to answer for someone else. Some have lots of sessions with little problems.

Not necessarily,I know even a couple of short sessions per day can work well. But if your sessions are two hours long,that might cause desensitisation.
Ill just add that i personally do some A-Less pretty much everyday,but I’m working on something with my wife,so that’s all I get. One thing to note,contractions dont need to be really hard. Mine are super subtle. Maybe this helps not to burn out.
In my experience, daily is fine until it isn't, which might look like a non-answer... basically the problem I experienced with daily sessions is that the novelty wears off, and then I string series of "average" sessions or even get slowly worse results without noticing. Then all sessions kind of melt together and even "special" happenings are not so special anymore. Basically, I get burned out but it's still fun enough that I'll do it daily, for me that's a bad place to be progress wise.
Just skipping a day or two once in a while makes a big difference, so it's not necessarily once a week vs once a day. Two days in a row then one rest day for a couple of weeks might be a good way to see if you've been overdoing it.
For me, with work and two teenagers in the house, I shoot for one Aneros session per week and I give myself a couple of hours. The stars were aligned this week and I managed two sessions, one super long one. I supplement that with Aless sessions whenever the urge hits. I have had the urge hit me during meetings (gotta love the mute button), while relaxing on the couch, even while asleep. I have woken myself up having a smaller orgasm, and I'm not talking about a wet dream. When the wife and I have relations I have some of the best Aless orgasms. So, one dedicated session per week with many shorter Aless sessions sprinkled through the week.
I only have toy in sessions after 24-48 hours of semen retention and edging. I go for the whisper when it’s possible, but often it isn’t. I have almost never done more than 2-3 toy in sessions a week and these days I often do only one, but I am in a sexually active relationship, and I do plenty of other non-penile orgasmic activities such as aless or nipple play, both alone and with my partner. So depending on what kind of sessions we are talking about, i am daily or weekly.
i recommend trying fewer sessions just to see what comes of that. And vary them so you aren’t constantly doing the same thing (adding self caressing, music, hypnosis, beats, changing positions, time of day, using pot, etc). I imagine you vary already, but just throwing it out there anyways.
I recently discovered my ideal pace (for now).
Two sessions with a massager and one Aless session per week.
Massager sessions on Monday and Thursday (without wet orgasm) and an Aless session on Friday with wet orgasm.
Of course this rhythm is only valid for me, everyone is different.
