[backjaum33]

Balancing a work/school lifestyle alongside a hobby like speedcubing can be daunting! How do you all maintain the balance? Do you devote a certain amount of time per day to cubing, follow cubing news/celebrities/companies to stay in the loop, or interact with cubing media a lot? What are your strategies for staying in the loop and maintaining the hobby?

Im in middle school, so I still have a ton of free time (which I am trying to cherish) and I cube literally every second I have free, though my practice will go down because of sports starting

Basically the same story here.

I’m a soph in hs, and I just don’t lol. I cube a little bit on weekends. Surprisingly haven’t gotten any slower.

I probably have no say here since i am honeschooled, but you only really need an hour to 30 minutes of practice for cubing. However, if you are looking to improve with that amount of practice, it might get boring and you can easily lose your spark. That’s why you need good motivation. I would say going all out on practice on weekends, about 2 hours, then on week days only a few minutes.

Balancing work or school with a hobby like speedcubing isn’t about squeezing in endless hours. It’s about being strategic and disciplined.

• Scheduled Sessions: Instead of random practice, block out a set time (say 30–60 minutes) where you focus solely on cubing. It turns the hobby into a mini “training session” rather than a distraction.
• Intentional Breaks: Use cubing as a mental reset. A quick session during a study or work break can actually boost productivity.
• Curated Updates: Rather than constantly scrolling through cubing news and social media, choose a few trusted sources or influencers. Subscribe to a weekly digest or set aside a specific time to catch up on major updates.
• Set Boundaries: It’s crucial to know when to log off. If you find yourself getting sucked into endless online discussions or news, remind yourself that quality matters more than quantity.
• Flexible Integration: Some days, you might have extra time to dive into new techniques or community interactions. Other days, keep it strictly to your scheduled session.

The key is to enjoy the hobby without letting it compromise your responsibilities. Find what fits your routine, experiment with different approaches, and stick to a plan that keeps cubing fun and beneficial rather than overwhelming.
