Questions to make upon choosing candidate moves?


What are my attackable points? What are my opponent's attackable points? Can I get rid of my weaknesses? Can I keep my opponent from doing the same? Is there a possible combination? If so, will it either work with my plan or compensate me for straying?
I forgot one important question. It needs to be asked before you get lost thinking the others through. How much time is on my clock?
I have some thoughts on this (i.e. Opponents checks, captures, and threats)....Any other nodes of thought on this?? Thanks!
