Default Learning To Think Quick

Well, it's time to put aside learning about all of the "fun" aspects of poker for a while. I've decided that I'm gonna have to bite the bullet and start figuring EV of my hands. What's the best way to practice this while playing? I'm not going to fool myself into thinking that I can tackle all aspects of this right off the bat.

I assume first memorize the odds against tables for outs? Then get good (i.e., quick) at figuring odds during a live game. Next move on to figuring implied pot odds with quickness? Then combine the two?

I know the mechanics of these skills, so with an outs table and a mintue or two I can calculate the best play. However, I refuse to be "that guy" at the table that takes 5 minutes for every decision. Any tips on the best way to become quick at these skills would be greatly appreciated. Yeah, I know... practice, practice, practice. But what method of practice is best?

Thanks in Advance.
