Serpentaura, nice post. I suspect that you situation is the same as the vast majority of those who have been around here for a long while.
I don't know if your system is any better than just doing it. One observation is that sometimes in order to learn something you just have to do it.
I started the year working out a set of objectives and methodologies for developing my own master of PWMS. However, after much thinking and reading of the forum I decided to that just doing the whole thing was as good as anything I could think of. In fact it was probably better.
My goal now, is to just do it more.
Good luck,
