Hey everyone. Thought I should make a post about this.
anyway...
I have been cubing for just over a year now. The main problem that I have is I take breaks, about a few months. This year in total I took about 6th months of not cubing.
I have many hobbies, I normally focus on one or two of them every couple of months. I don't like this. I want to be able to cube all the time and never take "breaks" maybe cube less but not completely stop. I bet If I did not take those breaks I would have been sub 15 right now.
My times right I do not know but last time I remember they were 16-18 averages.
Now the main purpose of this is what is a good healthy practice times. I'm either all the time practicing or not at all. I need a medium so I can still do my school work and my other hobbies.
Meaning what do you guy think I should do? Should I do a certain amount of solves or take a time frame and just do as many solves as I can?
I want to be able to always cube and practice quite a bit so I can improve much more. What do you guys do? Do you practice when ever and however long you can? And how can I get myself not be become addicted with practicing so ill still do my other work. Also timed or untimed solves? Which one should I do more, I hear that if you time yourself and then just do untimed solves for a couple days you can improve faster. Does anyone know if that really works?
Well I believe that's all I have to say. Share whatever you want about how you practice when you practice and my thing about that.
 
Practicing should be fun! Do it because you enjoy it! Cube whenever you are bored, or whenever you want to take your mind off the real world. Cubing represents a different thing in everyone's life. But one thing is commom we all cube because we enjoy it!
 
I just do about 100 solves every couple of days, until I'm sick of it, then break a bit. Just cube whenever you feel like it, it shouldn't be forced or an obligation.
 
Solve it when you like to. I cube because I find it to be fun, enjoyable and interesting at the same time. It also never gets boring because I have so much to learn and I want to be the very best like noone ever was... :D Actually I just get a kick out of improving, at cubing and other activities like skiing.
Just have fun is what I'm trying to say.
 
It's fun but... I don't know just I'm not that motivated right now. Also I think it's also a mind thing where I don't think my cube is that great (kinda damaged and stuff) ill get a new one and see if that makes me get a bit more motivated.
 
If you dont enjoy cubing anymore you dont need to force yourself to pratice or to even cube but, what i do is i set a certain time for other hobbies and i just use all the spare time i have to cube because a rubiks cube is awesome in the way that its small and portable and even if your doing something else you can still cube one handed :D
