I use a Dremel tool rather than clippers, but I do it once a week. If I weren't such a procrastinator, I'd do it twice a week. That way, I'd only have to do a teensy bit. The more often you do it, the more the quick will recede, making it easier to get the nails back shorter. You don't want to cut them way back all at once. And with clipping, you have to be extra careful not to knick the quick. You could maybe clip one day and use a file (emory board) 3 or 4 days later if you're not using a Dremel. That makes them nice and smooth and blunt. Good luck.
