Because of 4BLD center comms I am now including more and more comms in 3BLD solving.

While more move-efficient they currently require too much thinking time, thus slowing down my execution vs good old Old Pochmann.
But I persevere as eventually I will be faster for it.

So I decided to not solve 3BLD for speed for a while and just focus on the comms :)
 
flipping 2 corners instead of 3. Unless I am really paying attention, I won't notice the third corner and DNF.

also during long sessions, I can just start failing at memo and need a food break.

Almost always it's during my Y-perm after these turns: F R U' R' U R U R' F' At which point I fumble and forget to jack-hammer. My only other fails come undoing set-up moves. I do my set-up move, and when I go to undo them, I find a quicker or more efficient way instead of my original moves.
 
Forgetting memo is huge for me. I memo edges, corners, and then solve corners, edges. After solving corners, it's really hard to for me to think of how my edge memo starts.
 
I think you should do a new poll, with more options:
forget what memorized
memorized something wrong
forget to do something(twist 2 edges or corners)
mess up algorithm or setup move.
And make it possible to choose several options.
