Just wanted to say thanks - what worked for you?

I wanted to thank the people who gave me practical advice. Two tips made a real difference: keeping a log and asking for help early. Anyone want to swap notes?

If you feel up to it, answering a new question is a great way to pay it forward.

Thanks for writing this out. I went through something close to it 3 months ago, and it settled down once I kept a simple log of every call and form.
