Default Bleeding the brakes

Ok so i have an 86 that i bought for $300 and have fixed a few things to make road worthy. I recently replaced the master cylinder and brake booster. I have started to bleed the brakes according to the manual and using the typical mechanical knowledge that i have. The brakes are not bled all the way.
i'm wondering if there is any faster way or any tricks of the trade. This is my first foreign car as i have had mustangs all my life.

Start with the one farthest away from the master cylinder,
make sure none of the lines are leaking as well.

Thanks. I have already did that. No leaks found. Guess i just need to perform the same steps until its good. The rear ones don't bleed much though. Just wondering if there was a faster way or anything i'm forgetting as this is my first import car. But any help is much appreciated.

are you using a vacuum pump for bleeding the lines, best investment ive ever bought for maintenance.
