A lot of beginners think they are “slow” because they don’t know enough algorithms. But very often, the real problem is simpler: They pause too much between steps. Today’s mini tip: When you practice, don’t only time your full solve. Try timing just one part: ✅ Cross only ✅ First layer only ✅ First two layers only ✅ Last layer only This helps you find the exact step that is slowing you down. Question: If you had to improve ONE part of your solve this week, which one would it be? 1. Cross 2. First layer 3. Second layer 4. Last layer 5. Turning smoothly
