How to Get Started?

-Pray about a starting date.

-Pray about who God might have join you on this 6 week journey (use it as a small group that actually meets in person once a week or an online email or Facebook group that connects with updates on what you're learning and the direction that God is leading you to pray).

-Pray about and enlist the three who will cover your 6 weeks in prayer (I believe this will be a very significant part of the 6 weeks) and which one of those three will hold you accountable.

-Get a notebook (I personally suggest a cheap spiral notebook that you will be completely free to 'not perfectly' write in, rather than something more substantial that you don't want to mess up. But do whatever makes you ‘happy'.) You can set this up however works best for you: in different sections (I'll provide you with some suggestions) or just day by day (for example: week 1-day 1). You can even start one way and decide to change it later. 

-Once you have your start date, PUT IT ON YOUR CALENDAR and START!

As with anything, you will get out of this what you put into it.  I challenge you to 'do it all!' So make a plan. Things seldom get accomplished without a good plan so decide how this WILL work in your schedule. BUT 'life' will happen and the unexpected will occur so be flexible and don't let the unexpected or a bad day put a stop to your 6 weeks. Just pick it up the next day. Got it?

One last word of encouragement: don't allow this 'list' to keep you from getting started. If you do not have everything by the time your 'start day' comes, don't let it keep you from just getting started.
