General Tips

General Tips


Get into a Routine -- Find a time each day (morning, lunch, night), to complete the daily reading – get into a routine.  The hardest time is usually the first week, but once you get into a routine and see how fast and far you are moving, it will become easier.

DO NOT SKIP – Do not skip anything.  You do not want to get to the end and say you read everything, except…  There may be hard names, words...long lists of names and lineages... but you are reading to yourself so do not stress.  Even if you fall behind, do not skip ahead.  Try to find extra time to catch up or add a few pages a day to your reading until you are caught up.

DO NOT LINGER – Do not fall into the trap of lingering.  Yes there will be times you want to reflect, research or meditate on a particular story or passage.  If this happens, take note and finish the reading for the day first and, if you have time, go back. 

Attend weekly meetings – whether in person or by phone, try to attend the weekly meetings.  These are opportunities for everyone to share their questions and thoughts and also help to encourage one another in the reading.

Don’t Stress – just read.
