And to keep track of progress.

if its not timed you will not be able to know if you are on track,falling behind, or ahead of ur usual times. for example i finish f2l at around 9 seconds so if im done with f2l and its 10 seconds, i know i need to speed up my last layer and if its 7 i know its a good time

also if its not timed you are more likely to feel relaxed which makes you go slower

I find that if I go timed, I feel an immense pressure to speed up, which messes up my look-ahead and sometimes makes me rush through algs and mess up.

An even better tip would be not to time my solves at all. If it's just to measure progress, I don't need to use it every time i solve the cube.

Well if you already can't mentally handle timing your solves at home because it makes you nervous, you shouldn't expect to do well in a competition. A very common tip from good cubers is to regularly simulate a competition at home, which involves timing your solves. You have to get used to it, it is a vital part of speedcubing.
No, just no. You shouldn't feel pressured to speed up, but rather pressured to concentrate.

A most outstanding tip would be to change the timer update settings so that it is set to "none". That way, you still time yourself without the pressure of knowing what the time is.
