Taking a break when it starts to feel like admin is sensible — others here may have had a different experience.

Nobody's experience generalises, including mine — worth testing yourself rather than taking my word for it.

One thing I notice: progress is better measured in conversations than in matches — it is the single change that made the most difference.
