Information overload?!?
Don't try and take everything in - you'll lose 90% of it!  The best way to use the above resources, is not to necessarily read them all cover-to-cover.

Simply skim the subheadings etc, read sections that interest you, and as you come across good points, write down your ideas as to exactly how you can apply them to your business.  If you do this, your time will be well spent, and reading the above won't be a big time-waster or an 'avoidance behaviour' that will prevent you from getting things DONE.
