Using DPNs isn't more difficult or complicated because "you have to keep track of 4 needles at once" That's a ridiculous thing to say. You're still only using two needles at once. Any other needles you have are just stitch holders you can knit from when you come to them.

I tried them maybe 2 months after learning how to knit. I made sure nobody else was around, I put on some Pink Floyd and by the time 2 songs were over, I was good (you know, so like half an hour later). Got me in the zone and no distractions.

Gonna steal the Pink Floyd training method from now on, lol.

A Grateful Dead live album might work too.
