Hi. I'm a (yet another

) learning photoreader. I'm doing the course on my spare time. Unfortunately, I don't have much, so I advance rather slowly.
So, my question is this (regarding Elmo9's last comment): can I realistically expect satisfying results even if I photoread only one book every 2-3 days?
Also, to make the tangerine technique work, do I have to take the time to get to Alpha or just relax a bit? I don't get the part where I'm supposed to put my attention on the back of my head when it's supposed to be on the book I'm reading.
Thanks for your help.
