Then I would venture to guess that you are cutting yourself short on your activation time.
Activation is done in a number of passes and comprehension built up in layers. Do 20 to 30 minute activation passes take a 5 mintue break between each, review and do more passes as you need.
If you main complaint is that you have very poor recall with what you've activated then you need to get more of your whole mind into the activation process. Which simply means you must mind map! Build the mind map with each activation pass and you'll discover your recall builds along side your comprehension.
