I'll let you know...
I've been hitting F#m, F, and Bm pretty hard by playing songs with those chords in them and playing however they sound (which is usually pretty muddy) but just keep on going. Then later, I would practice the chords until I got a good sound. So each night, I would practice getting to the chord quickly and smoothly in a song and not worrying about how it sounded, and also getting a good, clean sound out of the chord without worrying about how long it took me to get to the chord. The two are merging over time, meaning that I am getting to the chords more quickly and at the same time getting a cleaner sound.
I've been doing this every day for about six months. I'm almost to where I'm feeling comfortable. I am no longer actively avoiding songs with Bm, F, or F#m in them. Usually not anyway.
