40 minutes self enquiry, then 20 minutes vepassena meditation

Or

I would do vipassana until you feel you have a calm mind and then proceed to self enquiry. Althou Vipassana is split up in achieving a calm mind and then move onto the "real" Vipassana
....Not sure you should try to squeeze three meditation practices into one hour?
Personally I just feel like my first priority is to calm my mind and sometimes that´s all I do. If I achieve a calm mind I might proceed to another technique such as vipassana or self enquiry.
Mind you Im not very far on my path so I can only offer my perspective and not alot of wisdom....yet ;-)

What I do is 20 minutes of focus oriented meditation (following my breath, etc), then I proceed to the 20 minutes of self-inquiry.

It works for me because at first my mind is quite messy but at the end of the first 20 minutes, it usually calms down and I can relatively focus on the self-inquiry.
