I'm wondering this because I can't seem to shake it lately. The obvious answer is just "calm down and do it" or "go slower" but I can't seem to help it when the timer is on.
I'm perfectly fine when not timing, but it seems as soon as I have the pressure of the clock, my F2L goes to crap.
You can see it quite clearly here:
The first solve is an ok time for me, considering. But you can see where it quickly spikes by about 30 seconds, that's where I'm freaking out going "OMG WHERE IS MY PAIR" *go fast go fast go fast freakout - finally done with F2L after a minute passes* and then you can see where I begin to calm down and even get under a minute.
How do you deal with this? I do just fine without the clock, when I'm really in the zone with no clock is probably some of my best solves: but I have no way of knowing "hey, I got faster than <insert time>" that way.
