In reading the above, you may think it sounds like gibberish. To start out, PR as many books as you can (3-5/day). Get comfortable with the WHOLE process. Don't worry about the results. Your first goal is to develop your awareness of the process. As you do so, you'll begin to notice things that work for you and things that don't. Eliminate the things that don't and focus on the things that do.

As you start to get your bearings, go back to the book or the homestudy course (whatever you have). You may find that information that at first seemed irrelevant or confusing begins to take on new meaning. There is a lot of information packed into the material and different layers will be meaningful to you as you progress.
