I will post some links later from Rabbi Siegel's talk this morning.
Here was his list of his study habits he mentioned:
"Inspirational Literature" (i.e. Rabbi Nachman's parables or Rabbi Natan's parables)
Attend Synagogue
Two Legal Sources (RamBam and Shulchan Aruch)
Chumash
Prophets
Writings (he mentioned he reads through the Psalms once per month)
Mishnah
Gemara
Zohar
Rabbi Luria on kabbalah
He said that he asks God before he studies to make the Torah an elixer of life to him, rather than a poison. And then after study, he recommended talking to God about what you just read and asking Him to help you apply it in your life. Just be honest with God about your reaction to the text.
....More later.
