Zak, if it helps, this is how my typical procedure with PR'ing works. This is my personal method, regardless of whatever morphs has occured from the original technique.
1.) Prepare book, make sure it's comfortably worked in. Preview it and look through the index and main points of the books so that you have an interest and curiosity with what you wish to get out of it.
2.) Get in Alpha State, just so you're comfortable and not antsy or anything like that.
3.) Beginning with your purpose and intention in your head, diverge your eyes and photoread the entire book with relaxation and if your mind ever drifts just get it back on track since pr'ing only takes a small amount of time. If patience is a problem, make an affirmation to prevent this.
4.) Incubate
5.) Photoread book once more before Activation to refresh your mind.
6.) Post-Preview the book - When you are doing this, do it fast and efficient, looking at all the major points and what you truly want to get out of it.
7.) I prepare 3 papers: 1 is for Trigger Words, 1 is for a simple Mind-Map, and 1 is for Intention, Purpose, and Mind-Probing Questions. If you can already answer some of your Mind-Probing questions, that's a tell-tale sign that you are experiencing some of the benefits already. The more specific the questions, intentions, purposes, the more detailed the results of your activation. Vague factors result with vague results.
-NOTE- PLAY AROUND WITH ALL OF 7. You should do it fast and dont worry about missing anything, since this is your first Activation pass.
8.) Activation - Play around with this in whatever manner you feel. There is no definite correct way since the whole purpose of all of this is to create a better connection between your conscious and subconscious. I like to start from the beginning however, noting the Index first, and then I either glide down the centre of each page (or skitter which is more enjoyable sometimes). Remember that the whole point of doing this is not to see and take not of everything as you go, but to allow your mind to signal you to stop and dip/super-read...with every sign of wishing to stop and take a closer look, always take note of this. I wont elaborate any further with describing Activation since you have a brilliant man of the name of Paul Scheele who describes it in far better detail.
9.) Practice makes perfect. No results? Keep doing these techniques until you know the book to your satisfaction and then move on to another book or set of books and you're mind will adapt and become consistently more efficient at this process.

Anyways, I know this stuff is said over and over again, but I felt it wouldn't hurt for my routine to be described. However, I bet it's grammatically flawed with my babbling.
