Once again this blog has been dead for a while, but I'm not quite ready to give up on it. Jan and Feb has been quite decent months for me, but I need more structure and better work ethics. As a start I will keep a work journal, posting daily an evaluation of my play and adjustments to make. This might not be the most interesting posts, but will give me a feeling of commitment. Here we go, my work journal for yesterday:

Work Journal: Mar 01 – 2010 (Mon)
• Not very satisfied with my play. Especially making a lot of premature moves against weaker players.
• My thought process got too superficial late in the session.
• Not making good decisions in unfamiliar spots.
• Lost focus after a few hours of play. Also made me more prone to mild tilt.
• Played close to my A-game only for the first few hours. Especially the second session was bad.
• Started to make bad and random plays after feeling like being played back at for a long time. Not giving meta-game and particular opponents enough attention.

Focus: Take more time when unfamiliar situations occur. Appreciate them as a possibility to learn. Pay much more attention to game flow and note taking. Table Ninja seem to hurt me more than help me at the moment. Set of time for mild physical training and reduce my smoking. Prepare some fruit and vegetables before playing to keep my focus up. Always have a big glass of water within reach.
