How can i stay motivated to practice?

[Roux]

I often find myself completely forgetting or not being bothered to practice, sometimes for weeks on end and frequently feel very out of touch with cubing. Has anyone who’s experienced this before got any ideas on how I may be able to keep motivated?

Aa for forgetting to or not beng bothered to practice, force yourself to. I used to have the habit of not doing any solves during the alternate week I spend at my dad's, but when I decided to pick up a cube and mitigate distractions, I get the same hours long sessions that I have at my mum's.

Might help to make it part of your routine. I cube before bed, it's better than my phone. Practice is low quality, of course. But that's the idea... like how some people have game time or something like that.

If you don't have room for it, you might have to do some prioritization. Is cubing a higher priority than some other activity? Drop that other activity.

But also, what is your goal? And I don't mean just a goal time, but why do you want that time? Fun in chasing the target? Aspirations to be best in the world? The cube is a toy; you might not need to cube every day. I see you're a very fast solver already.

Thanks for the advice! I will certainly try to push through the boredom
