@DStheo your method is too intentional. When you're driving a car, you flow with the process. Only a new driver who is unsure of himself struggles with all the aspects of driving, but a seasoned driver forget himself in the act of driving.
This is the flow state, and it doesn't require more, but less. If your method makes you feel powerful and accomplished, by all means, continue. However, your method is too laborious to me.
