wow, thats a lot of material and little time. I'd suggest you'd use the weekend for playing long time control games (with the OTB tournament time controls) with Fritz and analyze it after the game. As for your books and DVD's: do tactics daily and if you have time left go through the endgame DVD (hope you have Chess Engames 1 by Mueller - it's a great start). Don't forget to play the endgames you just learned against Fritz. Do it again and again until you feel really safe in the endgame you just learned. Safe the other material for later. it's not good to do to many different things at once. you can look into the most common openings, but only the first few moves and save the side lines for later.
