This is an area I have been trying to figure out, too. Your suggestions make the process simpler even though I still have trouble being objective about the "why" ... I can attribute pretty much everything to a lack of skill -- like attributing all causes of death to heart failure. :-)
Great post Nick, the categories -> root causes -> action plan flow makes things super practical (especially liked how you made the first two simple to visualise).
Interesting ideas - I think the other factor in looking at your move choices is how much time you had left and used when making a move. Effective use of time and choosing when to spend / use it it during a game is a current focus for me.
I generally would put that in behavior but yes, time left is a major factor. Of course that may lead to a question regarding time usage BEFORE you ran low. All decisions are fundamentally emotional, and so is how we use time in chess. IMO

Thank you for sharing! This is good advice and I’ll try to implement today.
Let me know how it goes!
