I'll share with you something that took me a while to realize, and saved me from a lot of continued procrastination:
Super reading, dipping, mind mapping, skittering, and rapid reading are all activation techniques, but you don't have to do them all.
What I most often do as my activation is a combination of a few of these techniques. I'll start with a combination of super reading and skittering, and when I get to something I want to understand more fully, I kind of dip, but I'm actually rapid reading.
I hope this helps. I think the best activation technique so far is persistence, I'm still working on that one.
