Changing it up

I've gotten pretty sick of MTT variance lately, trying out something new. For the past few days I've been playing NL100 FR. Have had decent results so far but that could just be variance. I love the fast that in cash games I can start and quit a session whenever I want.
I'm going to start using a checklist to grade my performance in each session, I got it from "treat your poker like a business"

-How well you played overall
I played ok, tried out a lot of new things this session, stacked off in two spots with marginal hands that I should of folded. One where a guy c/r huge huge on a JJ3cc board nearly potted turn and overshoved Ac river. He is a reg so I couldn't really understand why he would do this for value, I called him down light planning on jamming river when he checked, talked myself into calling off and he showed 33, expensive lesson!

-Quality of your thinking
I don't think I thought through decisions very well overall, perhaps I shouldn't 24-table.

-Quality of decisions
heh, see above

-Number and size of mistakes
the above mentioned hand for over 100bb, and another similar hand where I had top pair and he had top set for 50bb. I also misclick folded QQ/JJ, that's a sign of my focus slipping, it onlt takes an instant to wait before clicking to insure you don't make these misclicks.

-Quality of focus
I stayed focused to the best of my ability throughout the 2 hour session.

-Length of time spent focused and playing well
Around 80 minutes

-Length of the session
120 minutes

-Ability to manage emotions, focus and thinking.
I did not tilt from frustation at all, not once. I got set over setted(he limp/called KK and led/3bjammed 8x pot)/ lost set
