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".

For my work setup, I use a full layout with numpad. I have too much data entry, top num row would only slow me down and give me hand cramps from stretching to the furthest keys so much.

Personal computer setup, I don't have a num pad. I need to type numbers rarely and don't miss it.

If you can't go 5 min without missing your numpad... why get rid of it?
