How to Optimize Your DDR Sessions

Are you looking to push yourself further in DDR? Are you trudging through any difficulty ranges to reach a goal in LIFE4? It can be difficult working toward a goal like “PFC the level 14 folder,” which has at least 215 songs, by current count. After finishing off the 15 folder a month ago, I’ve started work on PFCing all of the songs in the level 16 folder. Of the 170 charts available to me, I have PFCed 136 and have 34 remaining. I find it quite satisfying to work toward a goal like this, even if means achieving just one PFC in a session (or none at all). The songs are physically tiring enough to be interesting to me, but not so exhausting that they sap my energy too quickly.

Since I’ve gone about this task, I’ve developed some habits that help me optimize my sessions. I thought it might be interesting to write about those habits. Maybe they’ll be of some use to you. They are general enough to apply in any goal in DDR, so long as it’s something that requires a lot of grinding or consistent effort.

That immediately felt relatable and stuck with me for the last few days. I wrote on my whiteboard, “Does caffeine change my personality?” On deeper reflection, I think it does.
