So I have 2 months off uni because of medical reasons, and I'm pretty much going to play Starcraft 2 the whole time. I made diamond on NA with Zerg, and then rage quit the game because of 2rax and generally just being a terrible player. I've since started playing again, and have made it to diamond on SEA as Protoss, and I want to stick with Toss.

What I want to know is: everything I do feels really jerky and horrible. Everything comes out way slower than it is meant to, and I waste time when I realise I haven't started building X yet. I have troubles knowing exactly what it is I'm meant to be doing, when and most importantly WHY. Add onto that I'm far too busy freaking out and trying to continually make probes and not get supply blocked to actually think about these things and remember them for the next game.

Yes, the answer is to PRACTICE. But I need some knowledge first of what I should be doing and why...honestly diamond is just about macroing a better army than your opponent, and I can't do that because I have no clue of the optimal timings. I want to practice, and I have no issue sitting on YABOT until everything is burnt into my brain.

I've got 1 BO for each matchup (2 gate robo PvT, 3 gate FE PvZ, 2 gate robo PvP), but past the 6 minute mark I have no clue where to go....when to expand, when to tech, when to attack. An example is 3 Gate Expand in PvZ, I can get the expansion down at 40 food, have my pylon/forge/gate on the lowground and Hallucinate on the way. But then when do I add extra gateways, a robo or twilight council? I've been having issues where I've cut probes to do so, and lose the advantage of the FE, and then lose because of my lesser econ, or lose because I made buildings instead of units and a push comes.

Where can I learn about these timings other than my own game knowledge (which is important, but not as important as the proper GM/Master timings)?
