Let's take a moment to consider the main points we have covered so far:
Remember, you have a day job: End user designing and thinking as well as setting up activities should not involve a lot of work. To reduce scope creep, create only the activities that you need to be more effective. Read the Glossary when you have finished a chapter as this will reinforce terms and SharePoint features.
Take your time: Read a few chapters of the book first before you start delving into the SharePoint technology.
What you learn in this book is a journey: It is a constant process of adding SharePoint functionality to your day-to-day activities.
If you have requirements that are not immediately obvious from the functionality that has been described in the book then try to find a compromise, or maybe your requirements are not appropriate for the SharePoint technology.
If a SharePoint process does not add value to the activity, it probably should not be in SharePoint.
Share what you have learned with your co-workers as they will provide feedback and ask questions. Remember, collaboration cannot be done on your own.
