    Screw it!!! I hate all methods of 3x3! But because of the fact that I have been using CFOP for 3 years, I am sticking with it despite how much I hate it.

    I've been cubing for only just over 2 years and I feel old already

    You shouldn't ask for view and thumbs up because most will thumbs down and post spam. I didn't because you look cool.
    WINNING!!!

    A few days back I quit cubing properly for a month (as opposed to the 'not properly' quitting I was doing for the previous few months). No solves until 4th July, except for tomorrow, when I have a meetup .

    My desire to do solves has diminished greatly, and combined with becoming busier with other things, this has led to me 'practising' for less than an hour a week over the last few months. I hate to use the word practise, because it makes it sound too arduous. I used to solve for many hours each week on many different puzzles because I enjoyed doing it - not because I wanted to be faster and therefore felt I had to practise. Now that I have little time, and I don't get the same enjoyment out of it, it's time to take a proper break and see what happens.

    I can empathize with this. I only get enjoyment out of BLD solving, and when you've been at work for 8 hours a day and come home you just don't have the energy to memorize 10+ cubes or even a few 5BLD attempts. This was partly the reason why I've just sold most of my cubes to Laurence today! Just a 3x3x3, 4x4x4 and a 5x5x5 are left, even then most of my solves are on the 5x5x5.

    It's just a shame I never got to see your solves in person, since I learnt from your videos!

    This is my last day with internet before six weeks with very little access to it. I'll obviously be posting very infrequently, but I will still be improving. Hopefully by the end of these six weeks my memo will be around 15 and my execution will be around 35.

    I learned BLD once, but I only really use it as a party trick.
