Ignore this, here is a much better method.

One must realise in experience that it is He who makes us do everything.
Never believe that you are the doer. It was wrong indeed that so far you
regarded yourself as the doer. In the this manner, you will gradually come
to realise in experience the knowledge of the doer. You have to efface
yourself; you have to awaken Him. First know Him to be the doer in ordinary
matter. Slowly as this practise matures, you will be convinced that you are
also the same entity.
Think that you are not you, that you do not exist, but that it is that power
which works through you in all things, eventually, practise will reveal this
secret.
The fact, however, remains that you are not the doer. Our actions lost their
strings once we abjure all idea of doership. By day and by night you will
have to remember this: "He resides unseen within me and He makes me perform
all actions." When this idea is firmly rooted in the mind, every act of
yours will be an act of yoga.
You might not be aware of it, but within you exist many cosmic worlds and
many gods. They are not on the place of external consciousness but on
another plane. These cosmic worlds are nothing other than the symbols of the
areas of our consciousness. As the mind gets subtler and subtler, one has
visions of such cosmic worlds, or penetrates into the realms of spiritual
consciousness.
When the mind is totally dedicated and surrenders itself, currents flow from
the mind itself. The intellect is an obstruction here, faith is an aid. When
all the contents of the mind are exhausted then everything becomes easy.
After the mind, the unconscious is exhausted, the self is merged. By
meditation or by devotion the mind is stilled. "My mind is at thy feet"
-such an attitude will lead you nowhere. On the contrary you will reach the
goal only If you realise: "Thou art within me." There should be oneness
between "I" and "Thou".
The form of the ishta must be vanished in the waking state, in meditation
and in dreams. First in dream, then in meditation and then in the waking
state. Any one of the two may be visualised in the dream state but know them
to be the one. Dreams create an experience of nearness. If in the waking
state before meditation, tears flow from the eyes or the body begins to
tremble, plunge deeper and deeper into the meditative state.
Always cherish the thought within that you are nobody. Whatever there is, is
only that power, that you are only the medium. Never forget that while one
force desires to manifest itself through you, the other desires to efface
you.
O aspirant, Maya is powerful! The jiva dances to its tune; there are many
temptations and the jiva strives to struggle to its feet. A python lies
stretched across the shores of the intellect, crocodiles are also there.
Maya assumes many forms and waylays the jiva. Maya assumes the form of
thoughts, disguises herself as buddhi and then manifests herself. All the
honour to those who care not fro the Maya or moha and remain absorbed in
themselves! What a distance the jiva has to traverse is known only to God
and the guru. Thos who have started moving towards the highest goal of life
will certainly attain it. They will be helped to reach it. If there exists
no extreme inner resistance of ignorance on the mental plane, the jiva is
able to overcome the distance. If the jiva remains in doubt, it will be
difficult to overcome the distance. The individual self loses its identity
as soon as the distance is overcome.

6. don't bother organising just remain fixated on your goal, if your goal is
to become enlightened then bring up a mental image what you will be like
when you are enlightened and try to become it, never deviate, be conscious
of your mind, and your body, and your energy and start to watch what it is
doing, you learn a lot by just watching yourself in action.
