Hi Chrys:

Thank you for your response. I am especially grateful for your reminding me to put my energy where it will have the highest payoff. This will be the central guiding principle I am going to use from now on in planning how I will spend my time and what para CD to listen to. In fact, for October, I have narrowed down my para CD down to:

Focus and Concentration
Get Around to It
Peak Performance
Personal Genius
Memory Supercharger

I feel that listening to these five CDs consistently will give me the greatest pay off in terms of achieving my three goals I have described in the original post.

Focus and Concentration will keep me focused on the three goals. But they probably won't actually make me work on them. They just keep me thinking about them. At least that's my experience with it so far.

Get Around to it and Peak Performance will actually fire me up to actually work on the goals, but I still need Focus and Concentration to prevent myself from scattering my energies.

Personal Genius and Memory Supercharger is like an productivity boost thing. Once I have figured out what I want to do with F&C, and get the stamina to get my butt moving and actually do it, Personal Genius and Memory Supercharger can help me accomplish what I want much faster.

I do have a question about the use of the Personal Genius CD. In my currently revised plan, I plan to listen to Personal Genius quite a few times a day but for different reasons. For example, after I wake up in the morning, I want to listen to it once before I start to study for my license. When I begin practicing Kendo at night, I want to listen to it again before the practice. Then before sleep, I like to listen to it again for no specific reason other than to improve my general mental performance.

Is it okay to listen to the same para CD several times a day, especially when I am using them for different purposes? And also, can I do the same with Get Around to It and Peak Performance?
