How to use this video really fast

• Fast forward through the first 3 minutes
• Stop the video at 19 minutes
• That gets you the basic information
• Next start doing what the man says
• That is how you use what you hear
• You can  watch the rest of the video later
• But there is only one way to use what you are told
• Do it.  Or do not.  There is no study.

Never even tell you what it means to do something well.
