I'm gonna start this off early I guess...
My goals from last year were way too easy so I'm gonna try to make them super hard.
2x2: learn eg-1, sub 2.5 global
3x3: sub 8.5 average of 100 (practice look ahead, maybe learn more algs, optimize F2l)
4x4: sub 40 global average (get rid of crappy stuff)
5x5: sub 1:15 global (practice and stop rotating so much)
6x6: sub 2:20 global (same as 5x5)
7x7: sub 3:45 global (same as 5x5)
Square 1: sub 15 global (learn more eps, optimize cubeshape)
Skewb: sub 3.75 global (practice and algs)
OH: sub 15 global (practice and learn some old)
Megaminx: sub 1 (practice)
Pyra: sub 4 (learn more algs)
Clock: practice (nah)
Just practicing the rest would be nice

Also something that was missing from last year's thread is how I'm gonna accomplish this, so I also wrote that next to the stuff.

Cubing in general:

Attend at least 4 competitions (5/4), make it to Euro 2016, podium in one event at one comp.
Stay strong to never touch any Skewb, Square-1 or clock.

General:

Find a way to combine cubing and studies that doesn't result in me skipping every single course.
Learn a martial art, get back into piano, learn a language, read the ~200 unread books that feel bored at my home.

4x4- sub 35 avg or something just to get better
4bld- sub 3 single at home sub 5 in comp. Learn center comms
3bld- Comms, just actually work on comms and beat Callum's official single (with hopefully something around 45)
Complete my WCA profile by getting an FMC single and avg, sq1 avg and 3bld mean.
Do a 7bld, 8bld and 9bld.
Continue helping at comps a great deal.
