On my first month, I racked up 2k plays. That was when I improved so quickly too, getting my first 100pp in the same month. Now I slowed down a lot, only playing around 400 times a month and increasing my top play by 100pp every year. I'd rather jump out a window than force myself to play 2k times again, any tips how to improve more efficiently?

The answer is: Enjoy the game
What skills are you lacking rn? Let's say long streams where you lack stamina, then you can get that physicality by what? Of course completing challenging streams which are possible for you to pass those streams. If you can't do the stream at all then you won't get much.
Tech means you need to play the corresponding type of maps.
Adapt, when you get comfortable with those things it means you have improved. Get used to stamina draining streams, funny sliders, high AR, HD, HR, DT, everything actually exist for you to improve.
I increased my BPM thereshold by 20 last 2 months. Not bad.
Good luck

I guess most efficient would be to go all-in on DT, but idk if it's really possible to improve quickly with 400 plays a month to be totally honest. that's only a few hours a week, there's not much in life you can improve at quickly with that kind of time investment, especially when that time includes warming up. but maybe you will prove me wrong. it just feels like to me that you will be perpetually derusting.
The best way to improve is to put in as much quality time as possible. You ideally don't want to force yourself to do this because it is unsustainable and playing the game will feel like a chore. You want to be "motivated" to play.
External motivators are bad for this because they are often short term or inconsistent. External motivators include motivational videos, watching cool plays and wanting to be that good, your goals etc. These motivators will be good some days but other days you wont be that into it.
Internal motivators are the most powerful and the most consistent. Intrinsic motivation is how you feel moment by moment as you play the game. If you have high intrinsic motivation you will be focused on playing your best but you wont get angry when you make a mistake. You will be relaxed and you will be having fun with each part you play. You will be in a flow state more often and looking forward to play each map. You will play often and you will play a lot because your motivation is independent of the outside world.
Finding intrinsic motivation is specific to each person. Everyone has different reasons they play the game and what makes them feel good. "Getting a top play" or "Getting good" is not an intrinsic motivator so you will have to think about what exactly makes you like osu specifically. Do you like the feeling of moving the cursor around really fast and hitting everything? Do you like playing the game with friends? Do you enjoy complex music and feeling/understanding the rhythm as you play?
Whatever your motivator is you need to tune into it and make it your focus when you play.
TLDR: Enjoy Game

actually... cookiezi has been on the game for 15 years with 18kpp which is 15x12x100=18k :UJangsoodlor wrote:
Bro even top players don't increase their top play by 100pp every year.
except if you're talking about the times where 14kpp is still a thing
but you're right
I'm a firm believer in taking things easy and doing things as you like it
That said, you can adjust how much farming session you want given on play time on weekly or monthly basis. Personally, I take longer, probably around twice farming session per two week or even less. You can make sure your farming session is as smooth, enjoyful experience that will leave you out for more motivation instead of feeling tilted, my tips is as follows:
• Take farming responsibly, don't underestimate the difficulty of the maps that are farmable. saying things like "why tf I shitmiss?? I supposed to FC this map already??" is surefire way to get yourself tilted. So play farm maps like you would on any other maps for improvement.
• Can't FC for some reason? Let's find another farmable maps! You shouldn't be too focused on really specific maps. You want to farm, not to improve your skills at the moment
• High Acc (98-99%) and one or two misses are indication that you're ready to FC a certain map. With reasonable persistance and good performance for this session, I'm sure you will FC that map. iF not, then there's always tommorow
• Optional, you can let go of result-driven approach when it comes to ranking up. Having no expectations is better than feeling disappointed in the game for not gaining much pp than you've hoped for

Could try to push yourself more, play more frequently, play more hard maps or aim for a score of a map that you think you can do it as if you were in your prime. Play more maps thats your weakness, uncomfortable to
However I would recommend to just enjoy, your skill can be back someday. Don't break your hands while derusting, the outcome could be varied
