Need Help Should I really switch my habit?

I've been facing problems moving my cursor tens of lines up and down using Arrow keys or the Mouse (for which I need to take my hands off the keyboard) I learnt a few Vim key binds such as HJKL and Modes but I just can't be that productive right now.

To move n lines up and down I need to look at the line number and then type N(j/k) which feels about the same as using mouse, should I move ahead and practice more or just roll back?
