I am currently around 27 seconds but I think a found a new approach to learning to be faster, faster, and wanted to document how it goes. My end goal is to be sub-6 with roux.

My new approach to learning significantly better is by first focusing on move count then focusing on tps which I can always drill later. I found that the main reason why I am as slow and inconistant is not because of tps but because of the move count. Getting good habits early will make it easier for my future self to go faster.

My plan of action is to first learn full CMLL then First block effincency then Second block effincent pairing then LSE EOLR all the while being CN. I will update my progress with move count and solve time to see how much saving moves saves on final time.

Just curious, what is your strategy for working "smarter"?
My strategy is after I get my move count as low as possible instead of drilling minor bad habits and doing solves with no direction. I will review my solves and focus only on which step I need to improve and figure out the best way to improve it.

My strategy is to set small, achievable goals and not set an end goal because I don't want to disappoint myself if I dont reach them

Sub 6 on roux is a short term goal. My plan is to be sub 6 with every speedsolve method. CFOP, Waterroux, zz, mehta TDR/petrus,
Is that possible with so many methods? Maybe two methods sub-6 is doable but 5-6 different methods!?! Would you choose which method to use based on the scramble too?

It can be possible. Current predictions are often way off from what actually happens. Jessica Fridrich predicted that her method's potential would be 13 seconds, but here we are. However it would be incredibly hard, but I think it's possible.

Back then the cubes were really bad tho. They had to only use wrist turns.

Nautilus method sounds like roux but you solve the BD edge. I would consider Nautilus a speedsolve method because it can be done very fast. I like how it solves the problem of a 6 flip and the only way to avoid it in regular roux is to learn a 2nd algorithm/KCMLL. I don't think the 2nd step (2×2×2 block) is that effincent but will add it to the list of methods to get sub 6 after roux.
