if you want optimal benefits from the new system, i would suggest the following:

1) create a new combat pilot now
2) train anything you want to try out that you can finish training and actually test before the 10th
3) dont spend any isk on anything except skills you want to try out. earn and save isk by belt ratting or running lvl 1 missions
4) buy skill books for science and cybernetics
5) transfer all saved isk and items to new character you create on the 10th. stop all training on your current character

while you continue to play your old character to enjoy the game and earn isk, follow the training steps below for your new character

6) train science 3 then cybernetics 4. while this is training, earn any additional isk needed to buy, at a minimum, +4 implants for intelligence and memory, and skill books for basic and advanced learning skills that add to int mem or learning
7) plug in +4 implants ASAP
8) train int/mem/learning skills to basic 4 adv 4 based on evemon optimized plan. while training, earn isk needed to buy +4 implants for perception and willpower ( charisma if you want it ), and basic and advanced learning skillbooks for the per and will ( cha if you want it )
9) plug in additional implants before training from step 8 is complete
10) train per/wil to basic 4 adv 4 based on evemon optimized plan.
11) determine the optimal attribute set to use for the begining of your new characters career path. adjust stats accordingly
12) start training for your chosen career path

this will allow you to:
1) learn the game
2) enjoy the game while still having an optimized character for long term
3) no skills trained on the optimized character that you do not intend to use in the short term
