"... The Improving Annotator is suitable for most class players looking for helpful commentary, and perhaps may encourage readers to spend time carefully annotating their own games, a suggestion widely recommended as one of the most effective methods of improving one's own play."

I’m wondering if someone can suggest a good guide or step by step process to analysing my games without just running through the game report or relying on the computer.
I use a voice recorder on my phone during my games, so that I can think out loud and then go back through the game and annotate it with my thoughts at each move. This has proven very useful when I work on my games with my coach.
I would however like to improve my analysis skills and try to do more of the work myself rather than just relying on my coach to point out my errors.
The trouble I’m having, is that if I use the same thought process to analyse my games as I do when playing them, I’m going to make the same blunders.
Is there a good method suitable for lower rated <1000 players to begin developing my post game analysis skills?
A YouTube lesson? Book?
Thanks,
Andrew
