I am thinking that I might stick firm to it for 1 year using a metronome every day. Then I can mix my chicken picking, straight picking, hammer-ons and pull-offs together. I will record some videos on how I pick now, and in about a year from now, I will check them out to see and hear the difference in technique and tone.

Here is a little video that I recorded today.

It is a mixture of straight picking and Hammer-ons and pull-offs. I really need to work on my alternate picking. My right hand just can't keep up with the left.
