What do you do when you are having an "off" day

[phases]

Put the cube away for a while (an hour, a day, a week or even longer).....

..whoa whoa whoa... let's not go crazy here..

 

[JTW2007]

I normally just memorize algs.

 

[kjcellist]

I just stop timing myself. And then I forget how bad I am really doing.

HAVE A COOKIE! Waffle's right, cookies go well with cubing.

 

[waffle=ijm]

I have a cookie. And then keep going. If I don't get any better, I get another cookie.

 

[JLarsen]

Stop cubing so I don't get pissed. Or I do something I can't do bad at or care less about my times in, like OH or 5x5.

 

[Jake Gouldon]

Well, once I get my C4Y order, when I am having an off day I will solve/learn to solve pillowed mastermorphinx/FTO/3x3x4

Until then, I do hi-games.

[Cyrok215]

Well right now, I had a "on" day, I got a 25 AO12, usually I have 28's.

When I have an off day I either keep cubing, slow down my tps to work on look ahead, work on 4x4, come up with my own methods, etc.

I would put on so much weight.

I usually just stop timing myself and practice my F2L at my own pace. If I'm getting really awful times (I suppose my average itself is awful compared to some, but anyway...), I just come read the forums. I'm having bad times right now, which is why I'm here

 

[DavidWoner]

Read a book. Kids don't read enough these days.

 

[ConnorCuber]

I solve a lot, try and get good times.

Usually results in a ragequit.

 

[Cyrok215]

Some times I also work on BSA Merit Badges.

 

[peterbat]

Put the cube away for a while (an hour, a day, a week or even longer) and try to improve some other areas of your life during that time: read about a subject you don't know much about, exercise, spend time with friends/relatives,...

When you get back to cubing, you will feel refreshed.

Read a book. Kids don't read enough these days.

[fundash]

I just keep solving because, on my off days, sometimes i randomly have like 5 minutes of amazing times, then back down to crappy times...
i.e.
Off Day for fundash:
3:15- NO!!! why do keep getting bad times?!?!?
3:30- Hey! that was AMAZING!
3:35- OMGWTFBBQCATS!!! NEW PB!!! OMG!!!
3:40- NO!! WTF?!!? that was DOUBLE my usual average!
*yells at cube even though it's an inanimate object*

 

[Anthony]

Off days are extremely annoying. I usually try BLD, and if that isn't working out, I'll just do something else and try again the next day.

 

[Scigatt]

I usually switch between OH(good practice for lookahead) and 2H. Luckily bad 2H days seem to be good OH days and vice versa. Other times I just plod on, especially for OH, to get warmed up. I also have the the experience of getting amazing times in bunches(my lucky and nonlucky OH PBs(29.45 and 32.00 respectively) were consecutive or close to it.)

Pyraminx is the answer =D you can't suck at pyraminx and care less about it? and with all those pyraminx methods out there I'm just trying some new methods if someone mentions a method I haven't tried (The result=I know a lot of methods for pyraminx now =D)
