I understand how it works. A big problem with the fast track programs is you go through the motions so quickly it doesn't give the student time to reflect on what they are doing and realize why they are doing what they are doing in the airplane. Students need time to absorb concepts and the material. You may be immersed in it all the time but I think that your time could be spent better sitting at home and taking a day or so between flights and doing some chair flying and taking time to reflect on your performance in the airplane. When I was working on my instrument rating I did a lot of chair flying, not at home in a chair but more so walking around and driving, just running procedures through my head. What I would do when I was getting ready to leave for the airport is I would think about every little thing I was going to do procedures wise for shooting an approach. I would think about the briefing, descent checklists, speeds, descent profiles for the approach, etc. You name it I was thinking of it. I did the same thing after the flight on my way home as a self critique of what I could have done better. I found this helped significantly. The key point that I am trying to get across is that it takes time to learn. It doesn't matter if you are learning how to teach so you can get your CFI or you are learning IFR procedures and regulations, it just takes time.
