       I finally started using the Chocofi keyboard with the Miryoku layout today after having assembled everything and it collecting dust for a bit (too much going on, not a good time to drop to 10wpm).It's a difficult process because any type of work on the computer is a potential opportunity and reason to practice, but also anything you do is slowed down so hard that it can't be considered work anymore.

       As soon as you start doing something you want to switch keyboards and *get on with it* and that continuous despair is hard to manage.It also becomes very obvious how having to think about how to type takes away a lot of mental space from e.g. programming and makes it easier to get distracted.

       @s_ol i've finally gotten proficient at typing "words" on my split colemak, but the "get on with it" urge is so strong when coding... that is a completely different set of muscle memory that is extremely frustrating, since it really breaks the flow of thinking, not just the speed of typing.

       What ended up working pretty well for me was having a long work videocall where I would occasionally take notes without completely compromising the mission. Although I did have to ask for short interruptions because I couldn't even write a word I had decided to write while staying vaguely in the flow of conversation
