I have an OTB Tournament coming up at the end of June, so I have around 1.5 months to prepare. The time control is 25+10. Below are the things I plan to do for the tournament. I wonder if I'm missing anything else.
1. Change my routine online games from Bullet and Blitz to Rapid and Correspondence.
2. Shift my puzzle practice from Puzzle Storm to Puzzle Streak.
Opening: I mainly play the Queen's Gambit (1.d4) as White and the Sicilian Defense as Black. Thanks to the Bullet and Blitz games I've played, I have developed an extensive repertoire as both White and Black. I would rate my opening skills at 90 out of 100 for my level.
Middle Game: Although I am familiar with most middlegame scenarios from my own openings, very unexpected moves from my opponent might throw me off and cause me to blunder. At the tournament, I plan to slow down during the middlegame. I would rate my middlegame skills at 60 out of 100.
Endgame: As a player rated around 1800 Rapid, I'd say I have decent endgame skills (although I can't win KBN vs. K lol). My weaknesses are time trouble and visualization of tactics five moves deep or deeper, which often occur in the endgame. I'd rate my endgame skills at 70 out of 100.
Is there anything else I should consider for my 1.5-month tournament preparation?
