How do you get used to small form factors? (sh.itjust.works)

I do really think the smaller keyboards are cool, and i like that they wouldn't run into my mouse as much. But all my life I've had a numpad. I tried a keyboard without a numpad and lasted about 5 minutes before raging. How did you guys get used to it? Maybe I just need to get better at "top row numbering".

I use a 60% with a macropod, the macropod is purely for numpad stuff in Blender and some window management shortcuts. Otherwise I use WASD for arrow keys with a modifier and a bunch of custom QMK stuff. Could always set a layer shortcut to turn a section of keys into the numpad on a smaller keeb. The only issue is when you use a keyboard without your config and can’t function!
