or do what a bunch of people here do: put notes next to your monitor saying "LOOK AT THE MINIMAP." | ||

That's exactly what my problem is...I forget to look at it! As for putting a note on the monitor I'd get used to seeing it there that it would become part of the monitor! But hey, it won't hurt to try. | ||

Some have suggested turning off all music and turning up the unit acknowledgement. That kind of helped but what are some other suggestions? Do you use the shift tab to make your enemy red? It helps me when I see bright ass red blips coming towards me at certain spots of the minimap. (shuttles/dropships/muta harass). | ||

control army > check minimap > resupply army > check minimap > make probes > check minimap just change out any of the non-checking minimap steps with what's applicable (build pylon/production facility/scout etc etc) force yourself to follow these steps and eventually it should become second nature to constantly be checking. | ||

(shuttles/dropships/muta harass). Yes I use shift tab all the time. It helps me notice large blobs moving across the map but the minimap becomes just a piece of the "Starcraft" border and noticing a red dot sneaking up on my probe line is something I overlook all too often and I pay for it later! And being red/green colorblind would suck when it comes to minimap usage and shift tab. I'll try to move the note around the monitor every game. | ||

but its just like a chore that has to be done it helps if you're really into the game and determined to win, then you would look at it on impulse | ||

Edit: About the color blind thing, I'm not sure how this would help, but I remember GoRush said on one of those Battle.net Attack tv shows that his teammate Hyuk uses the "press tab once" feature because he's color blind. | ||
