Something I sometimes struggle with is when I'm planing out EOLine, and I will see a nice, pre-made block. Unless you can see a very clear, simple way of preserving that block, completely ignore the block. If I don't, then my EOLine will get really long and inefficient and the solve will be much slower even if my f2l got a nice start.
This. If the EOLine is really easy I might spend a couple extra seconds thinking about how the block will break up so I know where to start looking once I start F2L. But unless I can preserve it with a single move, I'd take a short EOLine over preserved block anyday. EOLine is the most awkward part of the solve with the worst TPS whereas F2L is much higher TPS for me. In my opinion 2 awkward moves saved in EOLine is easily worth the 5 extra moves in F2L.
