1) I should try to remember the prizes for different buildings and try to add them as fast as possible. pylon is 100, gate 150, gass 75, probe 50 and core 150 but that's about it.
2) I should make better usage of the hotkeys. When checking the hotkey usage in sc2grears i seem to be using mostly 1 (nexus), 2(gates) and 6(main army).

A PvT match after the looong break
A long break because of work, watching replays and something I can not right put my finder to..
However feeling very fueled due to this weekend Dreamhack stream <3
Had a game against a diamond Terran
Major mistake nro 1: 3-4 mining bases & only 6 gates
Why: still not remembering to always add gates/robos when expanding?
Next time: when expanding always add production before or right after
THIS IS ACTUALLY SO IMPORTANT MISTAKE THAT I SHOULD SOLVE IT RIGHT NOW BEFORE CONCENTRATING ON ANYTHING ELSE!
Major mistake nro 2: No "victory plan" ?
Why: No predecided time/times when to attack and kick ass
Ponderings: This is what I very often seem to be missing. This build feels very strong when the storm and upgrades finish. Maybe I should use that and try to build a strong army for that particular point in game. Maybe add colossus tech and expand behind if seems that can not break the opponent?
Next time: Practice building a strong army for that point and then test in ladder what it loses to and learn to scout it?
Major mistake nro 3: No nice tech switch to colossus
Why: Bay was late. Robo also?
Next time: Build bay if the attack does not seem to crush the opponent.
Minor mistake nro 4: Army position and spotters
Why: Was not able to defend 3rd because army at ramp & not in between. Also did not see the attack in time because pylon was so close to the nexus.
Next time: Have an observer hanging out in the attack route to the 3rd. Or a zealot. A zealot would have more psychological effect?
What about 'em probes: 5/10/15 was 18/38/53
Things to celebrate:
Upgrades kept coming ^-^
Nice storms man ^-^
Nice defenses during early game ^-^
Remembered the build even if it was only 2nd time swinging it ^-^

2nd set of scouting practice
With the twist of added reaction goals ^_^.
First goal is to come up with reaction goals :D
Game 1: plat zerg on Daybreak, when scout arrived (15) no pool, exp 2:59 imo latish but could have not been earlier. Took gas quickly 3:45. Early exp 5:06. Droning like mad. The early gas was used for lair. Rest 3 gasses taken after lair. Had ~no units. Should have punished for that.
--> poke all the time to see if has army.
