I've known for a while now that lookahead in F2L is the top thing I need to work on. But I realized tonight that the second-top if not on par with that is my needing to "just recognize colors that are in front of me" and not turn them into the words "blue-green" or "red-yellow". I tried it and my mind felt more relaxed and I felt like it was a big step in my improvement - I'm not gonna see improvement right away, but I definitely think this was a huge step in my understanding of the cube (and myself :)) Anyway, I consider this an accomplishment, hence I posted it in this thread...

Yeah, I sometimes mutter 'blue-red' repeatedly for example because it helps me look for it...
yeah exactly what I do! you're way faster than me already do you dont need to worry, but I definitely need to not do that... as I say my mind felt more relaxed and I think this is something I totally need to work on to help me improve ...

although I will try to repeat to myself "red-red..." to remind myself of whats on D (since I'm color neutral)

cubing is so exciting and fun and neat :)

Why not just look on U to figure out our cross colour?

well I do that too - but that takes time too so I'm trying not to do that. But yeah I realized that at one point and that helps... I think it's just "instinct" or something for me to sometimes go "red-red" instead of look at the U color, so I guess it's a bad habit I'm trying to get out of <shrug> I have sooooooooooooo many htings to work on!!!
