Crawl. Walk. Run. Then, fly.
I can attest to Spyders suggestions. Many times over the last year, I have had questions, and all of them have been previously answered in the journal.
"strangely" I didnt understand the answers provided. Why? because I didnt have the correct mental model to understand what was being said, or in what context it applied.
Once I started building the "sports memory" things started to click. l found many of my questions answered with understanding (those aha moments), and I started moving forward again.
After a year of EOD equities, I am still walking. I hope others milage DOES vary!
