It's all right. You shouldn't need to press, apply the thumb gently, just find the correct spot. Or just look at it, perhaps: I can see my pulse on my wrists and on my hands. Putting hand on the chest catches it as well.

And it's own heart. Do you get your pulse on your thumb? It's usually used to sense the pulse on the wrist (or elsewhere).

Being unorganized is not being lazy. You can set reminders in your phone. It's just when you are counting your pulse you can affect the result (at least by increasing the rate, I guess) , that's why I'd rather count for 10 seconds but they suggest 30. A monitor reads it when you are "unconscious" but how does it know you are at rest? If you don't move (the monitor) it's not necessarily so. I guess they take the lowest for a day.
