Real results from dropping particles

I spent the last week testing how often I can actually drop particles in casual chat. Before this, I was sticking to every single textbook rule and it felt so clunky. I found that skipping "wa" or "wo" in short bursts made my flow much more natural. People didn't even blink and the conversation felt way less robotic than when I try to be perfect. Anyone else tried this? it really changed my speed.
