Has anybody here dabbled with Sq1 direct solving methods?

Do you mean cubeshape->direct solve, or straight up direct solving?
The former has been done many times, with Screw, Baum, Tse-Kan, Sun, Hashimoto, etc.
Methods that solve cubeshape last are not humanly practical.

Could always just play around with the patterns you use to get it into cubeshape and watch where pieces go. At times you could probably revert to cubeshape indirectly (by changing to different shapes then to cube shape from there) in order to maintain stuff, possibly giving skips/total solve.
I am a lowly sq1 noob and I dont know any EPs so im using this as my way of solving (trying to anyway..)

was that supposed to be a FreeFOP solve? If so are you practicing that a lot?

He was demonstrating that he knows OLLCP now (I think).

Nah, I just wanted a non-Roux sub10 video.
Godmil: I'm not really practising it, I just want a good average on video.

Why does an 'I don't care' attitude produce best results? Or does it? (am I the only one?)
Like for lookahead, if I try to look ahead, I just completely stop looking ahead? Do you get this, and how to get round the problem? (not big enough for a new thread, not small enough for OAQT, and it's more discussion than question)

I like to think of the effect as like this; while you watch a movie, you make a ton of verbal comments about what all of the characters are doing in each scene, and what they're thinking at the time.
While sometimes you might have revelations, most of the time you aren't going to be following the narrative easily, because you spend so much time talking about it unnecessarily.
You spend so much time thinking about what's going to happen, you don't actually let yourself make it happen.

how fast can you guys do RUR'U' x6 one handed?
just did it in 3.46sec, 6.94 tps

I have noticed this with my own solving. It is not my look ahead I am talking about, it is my general solve. When I was solving on Saturday and got my first sub 11 and 12 averages of 5 and 12. I only do for the most part 50 timed solves a week and I am still improving.
Does anyone have an idea for why this happens? I seem to be at this slow but consistent rate of improment for all puzzles even if the fact that is that I do not practice them. When I do 25 7x7 solves and the average is a 5:50 or something like that yet if I haven't practiced and these are my first solves they could be as low as 4:30 average.
It just annoys me. How do I overcome this?

Cause you're more relaxed. A lot of the things you do while solving should just come naturally now... if you over think it, or worry about it, it just gets in the way.

It's like regeneration.

I usually get sub 10s on 3x3 sim when I don't care so you're not the only one.
"when I don't care" = new scramble if not pll skip?

Well, yeah. Same here! When i do an average of 50 and i get my first "over 20", then i try hard to get good times sub 15 (of course just good for me
). Then i get much worse and i when i try to concentrate more and more i get worse and worse....Maybe it's just this kind of "rage" that slows you down.
I also recognised, that i'm often thinking about a lot of other stuff while solving a cube. About things like "What did i do last weekend. What will i do next weekend. How is the weather today....."
Somehow it's like jogging or doing some sport where you don't need to think, you just need to do...
That kinda scares me, because maybe if i just could concentrate some more on the F2L or whatever, i would improve my times........
Do some of you have similar problems?

Rage. Yes.
It seems irrational but it does happen and I just get worse and worse and worse and eventually have to take a break before continuing..,
