How long do I usually have to wait from the point at which I take my creatine to the point where I start working out?

Right after you take your creatine, wait atleast 30-45 minutes for absorption and then workout.

It doesn't make a difference. Your daily creatine intake is a 'maintenance dose', ie it tops off the creatine you've used since yesterday. If you don't take creatine on a training day, you will not have any decrease in performance (and taking it directly before training will not give any increase in performance).

If you're training for size, as I'm gonna guess given your supplement usage, you should be consuming some high glycemic carbohydrates and fast proteins after your workout - this time is when you should use your creatine, as the insulin from your post workout shake will help your body utilize the creatine better (this difference isn't big, but it's something).

I usually wait for 1 or 2 days when i take creatine.If somebody makes a creatine load for a boost of performance he or she must wait for at least 3 weeks to clean his or her body.
