Setting up an intensive weekend study of chess. Help!

I don't belong to a chess club, and I have no chess teacher. So all I have is myself, my books, this forum, and software.

My rating still hangs in the low to mid 1300s. So I want to set up an intensive weekend for myself of study. Can you advise me?

First of all, I'm not into Silman as yet. So here is what I have and thinking about using:  tactics books [Susan Polgar, Heisman, AJ (Tony) Gillam, Bain (Chess tactics for students), Starting out : Chess Tactics -Ward] and other type of books including  several Seirawan books (including Play Winning Chess, Winning Strategy,) Simple Chess by Stean (this book is great but hard for me), and Tips for Young Players by Sadler.  

Also just to inspire me, my Purdy books.

How would you structure such a weekend. I hope to do 6 hours or more each day.

I've got to do something as I am having trouble holding on to my 1300's rating.

I could do Chernev and Mcdowell's collection of annotated games, but not this weekend. I need to cram my brain full of tactics and strategy.

I also have lots of software, but they don't help me focus like books. 

Any thoughts would be happily received.

Cute.  We should buddy up and have a chess weekend together.  Actually, I suspect someone needs to look at our playing habits and see where we generally go wrong and determine what our weaknesses are.

The second poster is correct. Before "starting" a study plan, get a few of your losing games analyzed by a stronger (relatively!) player who can instantly point out stuff that you're doing that is quite wrong.

Might be good to focus on primarily cleaning up those "mistake areas" or else your study plan might just be an attempt to try to fill up a bucket with holes at the bottom.

One good way to approach a stronger player (for  maximum return on investment!) is to ask him to point out your top 3 or top 5 mistakes in this game. Do this for a few games and you'll start to see glaring common denominators. Maybe I'm trading when I'm down material? Maybe I'm tying pieces to other pieces? Maybe I'm playing Hope Chess? Address these BIG lumpy mistakes first and work your way down to the others. 

Think of this as reinforcing struts, putting up more pillar/slabs of concrete and making your "chess building's" foundation stronger. That ways, you'll be better prepared to "build" a gajillion floors of chess knowledge found in the books you just mentioned (Quite a good list, I might add :) )

Remember, mistakes aren't always visual or analytical, some of them are just based on really poor thought processes.  The stronger players still  make the former,  but you'll rarely see them make the latter. That's where they can "really" help you.
