mrkajenkins,
Allenhm is quite right. The pressure of time works against you. This is an endeavor that requires a relaxed approach. They're asking you to pay attention to inner signals. If you try to do it in less than relaxed state, the chances are extremely high that you'll miss the signals because of all the other "noise" going on (the thoughts about what you could be doing right now, the doubts, the wondering if you should have said this instead of that to your boss....). I started out the same way and didn't see results until I relaxed and gave myself permission to screw it up.
BTW, Amazon now lets you see pages from some of the books they offer. Here's a page from a book on intuition that discusses what types of signals you might get. I think pages 12 & 13 (of the 20 pages that can be displayed for this book) also discussed intuitive signals. Whether you accept her New Age take on things or not, there is still some validity to how we get signals from our inner mind.
