Take aways:
1. Feel as if I have completely loss focus this week.
2. Played an unrated 45/45 training game and blundered on move 9 with 49 minutes on clock after move 10.
3. Need to increase ability to focus/concentrate.
4. Need to slow down.
5. Need to consider all checks, captures, and threats when training and playing. I use to start every puzzle with calculating material balance and have migrated slowly to just pattern recognition.
6. Need to go back to basics!

Week 10: Chess Goals 12 week Intermediate Rapid & Classical Plan Review
I do not plan to update this any further. Trying this plan has help me reorganize my training to fit my long term goals. I have obtained increased tactics strength in both slow and fast thinking modes. I have developed an opening repertoire that will serve me for some time. My play at longer time control of 30/30 and 45/45 has strengthened.
Week 4 Day 4
I was unable to get any games in today, however, I still managed my daily games and tactics work.
