Hoooray for the stick man - he is awesome and makes you run good!

I think you should give him weekly themes to portray how the week has been going. If you are doing a lot of studying for example and less grinding replace his laptop with a book etc etc.

When you are a 400NL reg, you can upgrade his seat to a comfy chair and give him a crown.

As for the poker, clear your head and come back refrsehed. I find sometimes that when I'm studying, posting, grinding playing all the time, I actually become temporarily worse at poker. This is because all the new concepts and ideas are overloading my mind and making it into a poker mush. Sounds similar to what's happening to you with the doing everything at the wrong time. Sometimes when our minds are scrambled with so much new information and ideas, we overlook the basic and most correct reasoning to make a play.

I think you'll find more has sunk in when you start grinding heavily again since the stick man in your head will have had time to process all the gunk thats currently fucking you over a little bit.
