A suggestion to everybody: if you're truly serious about all this, override any impatience that might grip you, and read every posting. Every one. I could spend an hour dissecting the mechanics behind why it makes such a difference, but suffice it to say that reading everything will tune you into where the board is focused in the present moment and it'll work miracles to keep you on track and get you up to speed going with the current. It's never the same direction from one hour to the next so this kind of tuning in will work miracles for merging seamlessly with the direction of the board overall in the present moment.
I have not been doing this and for the time I haven't, I've been more of a blockage than a help to the overall effort. That was not acceptable to ME.
Read everything; get the feel for where the board as a whole is focused NOW. You can't help move in the right direction if you don't know what that direction is.
Just my $0.02.
