Okay so Day 9's talked about this before. When you play the game you need a mental checklist that you constantly go through to help you or you'll be overwhelmed by the amount of things going on.

Post yours in this format:

Race

Checklist by number

Explanation if any

Mine:

Protoss

1)Supply
2)Production (Probes and Tech Buildings)
3)Warpgate
4)Upgrades
5)Scouting or Harassment units (Phoenixes or DTs)
6)Main army micro (from positioning to combat to spells) OR situation analysis of the game (consider teching, attacking, expanding, building production)

Main problem with mine is that I don't think about expanding or upgrading unless I'm not under stress. Should really just try to be constantly thinking about my next step. Often I just jump to the first transition that comes to mind.

What works for me is recognize general good timing to expand... for instance, completion of key tech (col pops out, slap down an expo) or when you push out.

If you are going to be keeping your opponent busy for a good minute or so, expand. If they are to busy dealing with you, they won't be scouting or trying to take down your expo.

Also if you do a controlled push and it fails, having that expo will mean quicker bounce back, making it less allinish.

just my noob opinion :-P

2) refer to 1

no but srsly i just get macrazy in the zone when i play, i rarely find myself properly thinking unless im facing something fairly unique.

So you don't really follow a routine in your head either? Just constantly check everything at once?
