Hi TomTOM,
If I can pitch in with a helpful suggestion, I can relate to some of the frustrations you are feeling with learning PR. It literally took me 4 years (and attending 3 live PR'ing classes) before I finally "got" it. So, don't be frustrated after only a week or so of trying. Just go through the motions, even if you don't think you're getting it, but always telling yourself, I'm getting it, I'm getting it. For some of us, it takes awhile before things really sink in. I always admired those in the classes who seemed to get it immediately, while I was struggling and struggling. And then I realized I should stop struggling and just let go, don't expect anything, just do what seemed most natural, keeping in mind all the things I had learned from the classes and courses. And gradually over time, my reading speed really picked up, such that I'm absorbing much, much more information than I had ever thought possible. Part of it is to let go of your expectations - "release" them, if you will. And then things naturally start to work. I guess there's a bigger lesson in that for the rest of life, too.
Anyway, best to you, and happy reading,
HF
