Man, I'm so sick of being bad at macro. I wish I was grandmaster (because I will play faster  ) but seriously, I get supply blocked a lot, and my main problem is when I go to attack my resources sky rocket lol. I always get at least 1k/1k and then when I notice it, mentally I go "oh this looks bad" and then I queue up 5 colossi and make a bunch of units to make my money go lower xD I have been playing platinum players though recently (I'm gold, #1 ranked) so that might be the reason why I feel so bad lol. Hopefully with some more playtime I can get better  My main goal is to get to masters by the end of the year! So hopefully I can achieve that! FIGHTING!

Just keep playing the game. If you're having fun you'll be fine.

If there's anything, learn to a move and go back to macroing. Even if you run your 10 sentries into lings without a single one making a forcefield, you're improving your macro, which is more important in the long run that winning that one game.

Yeah, i'm having a lot of fun with it I wish I could play longer though, I can only sit and play like 3 hours max without wanting to get on TL.net and just watch some streams. I just did my placements yesterday and got into gold, and then worked my way up to #1 in a day so I'd say that's pretty good progress I also played some customs vs. my plat friends and that was fun. Hopefully I can stay focused through the school year though. Last year I didn't play very often because I would come home and just watch streams, so I want to stay focused.
3 hours is pretty good, after pretty much every game i tab out for a few min and surf

Man do I wish I had 3 hours a day during school days
I usually am too tired to play any ladder games or customs or don't have the time for that.
Only during the holidays do I have time.
I can tell that it's possible to get to Master league with your amount of time. But that is if you do spent your time playing games rather than watching stream etc.
I rarely watch streams only on few exceptions like if it's a good player of my race (in my case it's T) or if it's a big tourney like MLG or GSL stacked group.
It's best to just play than to watch :p I play whenever I can :D

No being grandmaster doesnt make you play faster. Playing faster makes you grandmaster (Excluding other key factors ie mindset, understanding of mechanics etc etc)

Overmake production buildings. If your macro is bad, just go full out. day9 talked about it a few days ago in one of his questions, and he basically said that as long as you are doing SOMETHING to deal with the issue, its better than just being like "argh, my macro sucks". 4gates piling up your resources? drop a 5th!

Yeah if you pile up resources dont que things like you did you want to make more production buildings like this guy said. When you que units your just tying up resources for no reasons to make yourself feel better about bad macro.
