Chess Training

So I’ve taken the advice of my coach and am trying to play a slow game every night. Slow in ICC terms means something like 15 5 or 20 20. After a steady diet of blitz and correspondence, I’m really struggling to remember how to win. In correspondence you can settle in to analyze “to the endgame,” and in blitz you often play unsound because, hey, your opponent is only human and it’s over in less than 10 minutes anyway. Now I’ve got to make use of limited time, no books, and a situation where my opponent has enough time to punish my weaknesses. This is going to be harder than I thought.
