No.
Seriously, man you should NOT be sitting around rereading the goddamn
manual. That is about the biggest waste of time I can think of. Read it,
understand it, and move on. Spend time either reading ASF or some kind of
archived material: old threads on google, mASF archives, Cliff's list, etc.
Personally, I spend a lot of time on ASF because I find that the people here
push me to go beyond my previous limitations. I took about a month off
shortly after I joined, and I noticed that I had a lot less direction during
that time. Also, if you don't have any commercial products consider trying
some. They are generally much more coherent than the lay guide.
As for getting out in the field, you need to consider what you want to do.
The point of field experience is not to get field experience, it is to get
results. Now, for you results might be just building a certain set of
skills, but think about what these skills are and how they fit into your
overall plans. If you spend 10 hours per week practicing a set of a dozen or
so routines, you might become very good at those routines, but you will be
very little more than a guy who walks around telling interesting stories to
chicks. You need to move beyond simply going through the motions. Ask
yourself what you want from women, then work on getting that. That's the
point of sarging.
And another important thing is to think about the game. You need to
processing the stuff that you pick up here and in the field and integrate it
into a coherent understanding. You absolutely must do this if you ever want
to make any progress. And you can do this anytime: in your car, at home,
wherever. You should always have a plan for where you are and where you are
going, and you must constantly evaluate and improve this plan as you obtain
new information. Stop worrying about what you are "supposed" to be doing and
start thinking about what you want to be doing.
