It's been a bit slow because of work and a vacation in the middle. I got the most done when the house was empty - people can't seem to not interrupt me.
Tricks for me have been to number the board and the paper. I would lay out and measure 8 to 16 rows at a time, then bring all my ends to the basement for cutting. Numbering where everything goes saved a lot of time.
Work towards openings. Mark your studs for when the baseboard goes back on and when you need a solid place to use a pry bar to seat the last few rows against the wall.
That's about it. It's just a long process, but not that hard.
