I optimize my pattern for minimal direction changes, which saves me 3-5% on the time it takes to mow
Same here. It's sort of a square shape following the borders and obstacles. I think the time savings are much greater compared to doing a 180 on either end, or walking the mower backwards.
I try to go the opposite direction on the next mow, if I remember.
