Interesting article. I'm actually right in the middle of the struggle you're writing about, meaning I know the theory, but still have to find a way to put it into practice.
I'm looking forward to reading your next posts, as they may help me to finally win the battle I've been fighting for so long.

I agree with @magicalmoonlight that you should submit your post to run by @terminallyill.
(By the way, @magicalmoonlight, congrats on winning day 2)
Then hopefully this will help. Everyone make is sound simple but it's practice and a fair amount of trial and error to find what's right for you. The next to posts will be methods to try out.
