Low conscientiousness is linked to anti-social behavior, blue-collared crimes, and crimes of passion,[3] as well as unemployment and homelessness.[19] Low conscientiousness and low agreeableness taken together are also associated with substance use disorders.[27] People low in conscientiousness have difficulty saving money and their risky borrowing practices make them fall prey to subprime and predatory lending more often than conscientious people. High conscientiousness is associated with more careful planning of shopping trips and less impulse buying of unneeded items.[19] Conscientiousness is positively correlated with business, white-collared, and premeditated criminal behavior.[28]

A lot of it is genetic. Good luck. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conscientiousness You have a lot of it, and so do the type A personality people on this site.

I have found that many things are learnable, but they have to be taught in a way that you can understand. Most teachers only know one or two ways to explain something. Additionally, they just don't have the time to tailor materials to people. I get really skeptical when people say they can't learn things or have trouble with something. People start acting like you need to be a genius to understand how a comma works or know algebra. I would feel bad as a teacher if I could not explain to an 18 year old how a comma works. Its not that the student is bad, the teacher is bad.

The more time I have spent trying to teach things to people, I think its mostly a failure of the teacher to be able to explain things in a way that people can understand.

You listen to them explain what they are having trouble with, and it seems like they just had bad/incomplete information which makes the process 10x harder. Many people are only really going to learn things if you explain it in X terms, where X is something they really like and think about all the time.

Edit:

I see complaining about dumb/bad students like comedians complaining that the crowd is bad and does not like their jokes. Maybe you just need better jokes, because there are comedians that can get that crowd to laugh.

I am/was a long-time colemak user, too. Most keyboard layouts I've found I learn about 1wpm per hour of dedicated typing practice. Qwerty is really bad, but I don't have trouble typing on it, no. I can switch between layouts easily if I have to. I can type one or two more layouts around 30-50wpm as well. I don't have any difficulty using a regular keyboard no, but typing individual letters kind of feels like a scam now.

This system for the shortcuts is only a few hours. A lot of it is phonetic, and the numbers are in binary. Numpad is binary + *, and function keys are binary + r.

So if you know binary and can hold one of three extra keys, you now have three ways to do numbers and the only difference is one key.

Shift+num works for punctuation too, so you don't really need to know all the punctuation shortcuts. You just need to remember what they are on a regular keyboard and then its just sh+binary.

The other things you'd need to know are how letters work (the ones not shown), and the shortcut combinations, but there are not that many of those, and they stack on top of each other visually.

You'd just need a 10-key keyboard, or toggle plover on and off to use this dictionary.

If you mean the rest of plover/steno, its a drastically higher learning curve and is basically a hobby for me. Just being able to fingerspell (type single letters) is learning another keyboard layout. But this combines several of my interests, so its not bad for me.

Learning wise, I am a huge Supermemo fan, so I just use that to memorize/review the stuff that needs it beyond learning the theory (which I also review in Supermemo). Most people would use Anki or Mochi.

If you are going to do all this, you might be better off getting a half of a steno keyboard, plover, and use https://github.com/Abkwreu/plover-left-hand-modifiers/blob/m.... Essentially, it allows every shortcut to be typed in two strokes/presses of keys, and using only the left hand.

I have access to/can input nearly any shortcut, punctuation, modifier, reg key, numpad, number bar, arrow keys, etc all on one hand, and the system is very easy to learn. I don't care about shortcuts anymore as they are all nearly the same difficulty to input, and I never need to move my hand to do it. This takes only a few hours to learn at most.

Hitting ctrl+t on a keyboard once is more wrist/finger movement than I normally see all day using this.

With Supermemo, you have cards that are in your reviews but don't get graded.
