I haven’t been "actively" cubing since ~april. Just fidgeting/hand scramble solving since there is always a cube at my desk. About a month ago I tried to time myself, and I have forgotten a lot of algs… FB was still good move count wise, SB was a disaster and LSE was OK.

Fast forward today, I had some not so bad result (with occasional sup-30 because I messed up some of the steps). I even got some sub-20 (19.*), and a 22.07 ao5. But ao25 is 24.5. (For reference, I had a 18.89 ao5, a 21.51 ao25 and 23.08 ao500 mid-february).

Still, it felt pretty good, and I hope I’ll find more time for cubing.

I carry my cube around in my pocket and just play with it when I would be staring at my phone. It's always there so I have a go every day. Like learning to play guitar I was taught to have the guitar nearby and in sight all the time and I'd play it more.
