I just had a pen and notepad with me for every video.  I'd give each video a page to write down useful stuff.

After a video is finished and there is a recommended video I'd go ahead and watch it and if there is a book recommended to read, I'd go read it.  After I'm done reading it I'd go back to the course and on to the next video.

This thing of reading after each video got to me..so near the ending of the first group of videos I just held back on reading the recommended books for a while.

Then I went through the assessments and exercises, while reading the books recommended from the previous videos.

I still got a bunch a books to read..but there's no rush.

Also try not to get distracted during each video.  Give each one your full attention.

Best of luck finding your Life Purpose man. :)

@BeginnerActualizer My approach is to take notes on each video. I use a google doc, which is 65 pages already in 1 document. Sometimes an exercise requires a new document. I keep them all in a separate folder in my Google Drive.

It also helps to "teach" some of the stuff you've learned to other people. Then you'll really know if you understand the matter ,if you can explain it to somebody else.

That's great advice! Thanks! 

Can I ask you guys, how many videos you watched per week/day?

Does it depend on the depth of the video, like some videos required a lot of contemplation or exercises before moving to the next?

Or did you have an average amount of videos you watched per week?

At what general pace should I approach it?

Thanks again.

The first half is easy and really interesting. I try to spend 2 of 3 evenings working on the ULP for about 2 hours. I have a full time job, a family (young kids), pretty busy social life and I try to run about 50 to 60 km a week. So it's not always easy to find time for the ULP. So it really depends on what your life looks like and how much time you could/should spend.

The second half takes much more from yourself, answer all sort of questions. This takes a lot of time and mental effort (at least for me). I'm quite struggling with this. See my topic
