Keys to keep in mind:
1. Activate your book in 30-45 minute sessions. The time contraint prevents you from over-dipping, because you have to get through your material from beginning to end in each pass.
2. Build comprehension from whole-to-parts. Structure first, and increasingly more detail as you go.
3. One pass through the home study tapes is enough. Then, start PhotoReading and activating. It all comes together when you PhotoRead and fully activate 4-5 books of your own that you haven't read yet, until they "gel".
