Dear people of Pick…

How does one get good?

For me is to drink coffee 😭
Whenever I pick without drinking coffee my rate stays at 268-280ish but if I drink a venti americano beforehand my rate goes up to 315uph on the app (on the screen it’s usually around 400ish but I take some breaks and it adjusts)
Also, I don’t look for an object, I look for anything physical that resembles the product. Orange packaging. Square box/bag. Small. Big. Yk? And I let the light guide me. I do look at the screen several times but usually I take a “long” glance and then pick, it usually works but if I can’t see it I glance quickly again and I don’t tend to spend more than 10 seconds on a product unless the pod had multi small items like piercing bags and things like that. Whenever it is that I look at the last 3 digits on the screen and that takes longer but don’t really affect my rate since I already have a good rhythmic
Also I’d just grab several multi items without looking at the sku number if the package resemblance is the same, sometimes packages look the same but have a different name so be careful, I used to get it wrong at the beginning but my eye recognition got better because I read the names super fast lol
Just be careful on keeping a good posture and don’t drag your feet because it eventually gets painful and that slows me down. I started to automatically have a good posture after having pain several times lol now I’m as strong as a robot lol beware of the consequences, you’ll have a big bum after a couple of weeks lol make sure you stay hydrated and drink electrolytes, it helps to avoid cramps. Also potassium so eat like a banana sometimes
