Hmmm. I think i need to prioritize, since i don't spend that much time on this.

- BLD: Finish learning it. Classic pochman for both corners/edges. Working on memorization techniques currently.
- 3x3x3: I've only learned one initial set of OLL/PLL algs. Go through the ones that annoy me and find new ones, to improve my solve times. Currently between 30-40s averages. This will hopefully lead to atleast sub 30 averages.
- BLD: Revisit and maybe learn M2 for edges.
- 4x4x4: Revisit and get faster. Maybe try BLD.
- Maybe attend a real competition just for the hell of it :)

Goals
Get sub-20 averages
Learn partial edge control - CHANGED
Get consistent sub-5 BLD with 75%+ accuracy. - COMPLETED!
Learn to solve a Square-1 - COMPLETED!

Deadlines
December 2, 2009
March 1, 2009 - CHANGED to December 2, 2009
February 20, 2009 - COMPLETED!
March 1, 2009 - COMPLETED!

So, it's March 1, and I did learn partial edge control like I had wanted to, but now I want to learn all OLLs too, so I changed that goal. I competed my BLD goal, and today is the deadline for my Square-1 goal (Learn to solve) and I average sub 1:20. So my new goals are as follows

Goals
Get sub 20 averages and learn OLLs
Get sub 1 averages on Square-1

Deadlines
December 2, 2009

3x3 Speedsolve:

Ultimate goal (by World Championship):
Time Achievement:
sub-10 averages
Actions: Learn full Fridrich and perhaps advanced methods.

Goals for this month of March:
Time Achievement
: By end of month, at least sub-25.
Actions: 1. Learn full PLL by March 10 by resolving to learn at least 1 PLL algorithm a day.
2. Learn 21 OLL algorithms by the end of the month by resolving to learn at least 1 OLL a day starting March 10/11.
3. Get AT LEAST a sub-15 cross+F2L (wanted: sub -10) by practicing F2L for 1-2 hours a day (see my thread under the beginner's section to see how I am going to do this).
4. (insert something about x-cross and advanced F2L methods here. I still don't know enough about these things to make realistic or even vague goals about them.)

3x3 One Handed:
WIP

3x3 Blindfolded:
WIP




As you can see, I have "action" goals because merely saying "I want a sub-x average by x date" tells me nothing about what to do to achieve that goal.
