Thanks! Ironically, it was my procrastination that got me to do it. Because I kept forgetting to bring back an overdue video to the library, my card is suspended until I pay the fine (about $7 or so). So, without any excuses, I had to find everything I needed in one library and PhotoRead the whole stack without checking anything out.
Also, I didn't have much pressure because there's little harm in getting anything "wrong." If my Inner Leonardo isn't anything like the biographies say he was, but I get Genius Insights from my imaginary friend, I win. If I get horrid insights from him, I have enough faith in my other-than-other-than-conscious mind to argue with him.
ABSOLUTE worst case scenario, I get taken over by "Leonardo" and start working on an 80-ton bronze sculpture of some horses.
I have sjaykum1 to thank, actually. I realized that I was trying to hard and not having enough fun. I think it was fear of not "getting anything from it" that stopped me from Direct Learning much before.
