Know what you are choosing
Before switching layouts, think about what you really want from the change. Are you chasing comfort, efficiency, or curiosity? The reason matters because a layout change without clarity often becomes frustrating quickly.
A thoughtful choice is usually easier to stick with than a trendy one.
Keep the practice consistent
If you switch layouts, keep your practice simple and consistent for a while. Short, focused sessions will usually help your body adjust faster than a dramatic overhaul.
Consistency matters more than the novelty of the new layout.
