Learning independently

[airborne]

I'm devising a plan for independent learning, since I am likely enlisting November 08 I will not be in any sort of classroom. I don't like to waste time so I will read/write/learn/live as one should. This is my brief plan needing input.

1. Read one book a week, two if possible.

2. Integration by writing notes and posting questions I have here or to a relevant forum

3. Writing essays and recording speeches(youtube), not sure where to get input for essays and don't mind paying especially since I'll be working.

4. Try to be more proactive on this and other philosophy forums by replying to questions I think I can answer - other people may find holes in my reasoning

Apart from this I may be able to get Financial Markets certification at the Securities Institute(although I'm trying to figure out if it will be worth it. The material is easily self-taught, the only advantage is I have a teacher correcting essays/statements).

Any suggestions welcome
