I agree 100%. I struggle with training plans because I always want to work on many different areas and materials at the same time but at the end of the day I buy many books and join many sites and end up finishing nothing, frustrated and with a feeling of slow progress. I tend to find it hard to commit to one thing for a certain period of time as my mind always wanders towards all the other stuff I won’t be able to see meanwhile. I wonder if there are any techniques to deal with such psychological trait.
Exactly my experience. I find it helpful to track my time instead of making plans. I am still doing several things a day, I improved the most when I did 45 days of puzzle rush for one hour a day. This was during the summer break. My coach asked me how I improved my calculation skills over the summer. My blitz rating is 1600 on lichess.
