Those links don't help me with my specific question about the exercise mentioned in the video.
Sorry I've not seen that premium content, as I've not yet tried free trial & upgraded.
Your best flicking through the comments here:
https://www.chess.com/video/player/four-exercises-to-become-a-tactical-genius-part-2
and if your question hasn't been asked & answered, then ask it there.
Definitely refer to a written checklist like this ('til you know it verbatim).
I found a checklist (after threats from opponent):
Pieces - hanging
Pieces - barely defended
Pieces - that can't move
Pieces - that can barely move
Pieces - with multiple responsibilities
Pieces - to valuable open lines
Pieces - geometric arrangements
Pieces - connections with key squares
Pieces - hidden attacks
Maybe someone else can answer this better?

Have you guys seen the "4 exercise to become a tactical genius " videos by IM David pruess?? If you have I have a question about the second part about keeping track of tactical motives after every move. Do you guys write them down in a notebook or do you just keep track of them mentally?? I mostly play daily chess as it gives me more time to think about my moves.
I'm not a premium member either. So I haven' seen the video. That being said, I think it would be helpful to keep a mental note.
