Can any Kanjidamage users help me out?

OK, so, I've just finished learning my kana and want to go onto kanji. Heisig was good but a touch too dull for my liking, so I'm going to try out Kanjidamage.

All I'd like to know is, what exactly do I learn? Just the mnemonic/keyword, or the kunyomi, jukugo, etc.?

It just seems like an overwhelming amount to learn for each one the first time through, and I'd like to know how others who have used it went about it.

Thanks.

Yeah it's a bit sketchy for me, but this is what I'm starting to understand.

Example:

一
ONyomi: Ichi, Itsu
KUNyomi: ひと*つ (One * thing)

ひと, or Hito, is the KUN reading for this Kanji. The つ after the asterisk is an Okurigana which is attached to the KUN reading to make it more specific. In this case, attaching つ to ひと, making it ひとつ means "One [X]", where X is a thing. Otherwise it would just be ひと, making it ambiguous and hard to discern what the "one" is. There are many other Okurigana including ones which are multiple Hiragana put together to imply different terms such as verbs, adjectives, nouns and the like.

This is just what I'm taking away from my little bit of research and googling around. Hopefully it makes sense to you too.
