Hi and welcome to BW!

When you mention BW, I'm assuming you're referencing Babywise? There is a lot that Tracy and the members of this site don't agree with in Babywise, namely CIO and rigid scheduling, so just want to make sure you are aware of that. Tracy believed that CIO breaks the bond of trust between parent and child and there is quite a bit of research pointing to negative side effects that go along with CIO. All this being said, I'm glad you've found us!
As for implementing EASY, I will post some links below that have lots of good information on getting started. While I understand your thought behind getting him the sleep he needs, at 8 weeks he does need a bit of stimulation as well and some A time. It sounds like you're trying to put him down at around 1hr after waking, which actually may not be enough and he's therefore not quite tired enough to get into a deep sleep. At his age, I'd expect him to stay awake closer to 1h10/15/20min. So, I think the first thing to try is to add a bit of A time. It can be low-key still... a walk around the house, lying on the floor or your bed looking at the ceiling... something to keep him up just 10-15min longer. While you're just starting, Tracy also suggested doing shh/pat or holding a hand on your LO for the first 20min of sleep to make sure he enters a deep sleep. I've never done that, TBH but if he's having trouble staying asleep, it's worth a try.
Here are the last links... (The first two are contained in the last one, but I'm giving them also for quicker reference.) Hope that helps.
