As far as the timeline with Bill's course, what I did was just look at the current feeling that I had. Usually this was some form of anxiety that wanted release but just go with the flow and use the whatever feeling that your experiencing at the time(no need to label it). Then, at a later stage, come back to your values. Sometimes (most times) you need to go through the course a couple of times to get the full gist of it all (I'm doing that now in fact).
Don't give up on the timeline. For me, its been especially good for overwhelm and releasing the subsequent emotions and feelings that come up.
