Time management in the game of chess

Here are few steps that will provide you with an upper edge in the game of chess.
1) Make a physical movement. You can shuffle your legs, move around in your chair, move your arms up and down, or wiggle your toes. This will provide you relaxation. (5 seconds; total time: 5 seconds)
2) Look at the chess board with a vision, the ability developed by going through micro-level chess drills. (10 seconds; total time: 15 seconds)
3) Understand what the opponent is threatening. (20 seconds; total time: 35 seconds)
4) Write the opponent moves on the score sheet. (5 seconds; total time: 40 seconds)
5) If the opponent has serious threat, then respond. If not, then calculate the tactical sequence. If no tactical sequence exists, implement a plan. (70 seconds; total time: 110 seconds)
6) Write down my moves. (5 seconds; total time: 115 seconds)
7) Imagine the position after I make my and use chess vision to check the position. If chess vision does not locate any problem, make the move and press the clock. If chess vision does locate a problem, go back to step 1. (10 seconds; total time: 125 seconds)
8) Make sure that you have pressed the clock.
