Daily. So I can multitask with discussion, Discord, TikTok and Instagram.

I’m slowing shifting from rapid (10 mins) to blitz (5 mins) so probably blitz

rapid

Rapid is best for progress, especially 15|10 as the increment allows 10 seconds/move to win a won position or draw a drawn position.
Blitz is for fun only.
Bullet is for the super dextrous.
Daily is too inhomogenous. You may think for a day and your opponent for a second.
Classical is best for progress, but not suitable for online play.

Some beginners play to fast sometimes 5|3 time control or something like that is better

Enough time to think but not enough time to just stall or sleep on your chess 10|0 should be fine for most people typically rapid might be the best for most people but if you don't know what your doing you get stuck really easily I had a guy playing pretty much 30|0 and above and was stuck at 500 elo till I showed him a trick and for whatever reason even tho I didn't tell him he played shorter time controls which I think helped (even if it's something like 10|5 )

The problem is if you don't have good time management which most beginners do not it's difficult to improve at any time control or if you just sleep on your moves and don't think

But yah otb is probably one of the better ways to improve classical online is a bit crazy and too slow at the moment
