I saw the first resolution for the next year on last years thread, so I thought I'd start the one for the upcoming year. What are your resolutions/ goals for cubing?

Mine:

2x2: Learn something other than CFOP and actually practice it
3x3: Sub-12 global average
4x4: Practice more / sub-1 global

This seems somewhat more simple than your goals last year.
I got 2/14 cubing goals last year, I think I may have been a bit too ambitious. I'm cubing less and less so I didn't choose goals that would be too hard to beat. I'm not very good with goals.
