I wish someone had given me all of this to work with when I started the course because it took me a few days to wrap my head around the very dense handbook and organize all the tasks I needed to do. I decided to upload all of my material here so that future T-i-Ts (I’m guessing you are one or you wouldn’t have landed on this page) wouldn’t have to go through the heartache I did when I first started to get organized. Good luck!
