I think what the real problem was was that you were too focused on the self help/course-like portion of what you were doing rather than on your life.
These products and ideas are not meant to take over your life, you ADD them to your life. From the way you speak, it seems like that's all you think about.

Let me tell you, when I first started photoreading and doing Genius Code techniques, they were on my mind all the time. I didn't do as well as I could have done.

I actually took a 3 or so month break from photoreading, that's how sick of it I was getting.

I then started it up, not for the sake of photoreading, but for the sake of bettering myself, and I work to learn as much as I can every single day now and photoreading helps. It's on my mind (the idea of it, that is) maybe 10 to 15 minutes every week. Photoreading is not the idea of what I want, information and skills are. I focus on them, I learn about them.

It seemed like you focused almost solely on NLP and all of the Learning Strategies products rather than your own life.
