I can’t seem to figure out the solution to my time management. I find myself spending a lot of time understanding the position in the middle game which leaves me around a minute in the endgame. Sometimes it works sometimes it doesn’t. I wonder if playing 5 minute blitz would help with this. What do you think?
Don't switch to 5 min Blitz yet, you'll just panic more. Try a solid opening like the London System. If you play the first 10 moves from muscle memory, you'll save plenty of time for the endgame. Focus on patterns, not just speed
