This may be a stupid question, but...

I was thinking about Direct Learning and how you get the "ah-ha" results after an amount of time. I was wondering can you cut down that lag time between activating Direct Learning and getting results by envisioning your future self a little closer to the here and now.

So instead of visualizing yourself using the skill some time in the future, could you use the technique to visualize yourself using the skill the next day and get results the very next day that way?
