The best piece of advice I can give you is to do whatever you can to make, and keep, it as a daily habit. It is far better to do 5-10 minutes every morning than half an hour once a week. If you want any good resources, I've got a great list of books to choose from, but whatever method you just make sure you stick to it regularly. Think of it like brushing your teeth, brushing 3 times as long every 3 days doesn't work as well as brushing a shorter amount of time every day.

thanks for the advice. I'd appreciate a couple links to recommended books, as would other people here reading this. My techniques are very basic and uninspired currently, so I'd like to change that. Take care!
