For Mid SH I suggest playing until F11 3.Ģ. Ideally you should start a new game every time since a big part of the opening is setting up your base with the map you got. I recommend starting a game vs easy computer, play the opening, resign and look at how well you did, then repeat. If you have 6 swords and the opponent has 18 it's extremely difficult.

If your build order is bad you'll constantly find yourself in situations where your opponent has more stuff than you.

That being said there is a lot we can all do to optimize our training and more efficiently use our time. I don't think there is a magic formula that will work as a quick fix. We are different and I believe at the end of the day everyone has to put in a lot of effort to actually get good. I don't think there is a 'best and fastest way to improve' that works for everyone though.

This mindset alone is one of the most important factors when it comes to who gets better and who gets stuck in Noobville. First of all, the fact that you're actually willing to improve and practice tells me you'll probably get good quite quickly.
