I checked my globals in all of my events from the end of 2017, and then compared them with my current ones:
3x3: I was sub 17, now sub 13
4x4: Sub 2:30, now sub 53
5x5: 4:30 - 1:35
6x6: -- to 3:30
OH: 1:00 - 24
SQ1: None to WR270
Pyra - 17 average to now sub 7
Mega: 3:00 to 1:30

I think I'd like to be top 100 in the world for square one, and sub 1 in mega, sub 1:15 in 5x5, sub 40 in 4x4, and sub 17 in OH

Time for a new beginning, have failed goals for last 2 years so...

2x2: Sub 2, Top 20 official YES, almost(set a goal for top 35 later, got a 1.69 which was DQed)
3x3: Sub 10, global and official YES YES AND YES!
4x4: Sub 50, g & o Yes, yes, yes!
5x5: 1:40 g&o almost
6x6: sub 4 almost
7x7: sub 7 eh
OH: sub 18 comfortably :3
pyr: don't care much but 4.5ish Ended up caring and yes
skewb: sub 4, g&o Yes, yes, yes
FMC: sub 35 Yes! Official too
squan: get one(mine broke and is crappy), sub 20 Yes
3x3 feet: 1:20 consistent Yep
mega: idrc, 1:40 Yep

Pick up some blind around the way Umm probably?
top 500 kinch Yee
go to 4 comps, try for one mumbai comp(will probably happen, Udaan Open 2018 is in Jan) 3 comps so far, went to 2!
balance cubing chess and studies more properly Yes I think
Try and get a few more cubes Yes :)

Pretty successful so far, I think I might be able to achieve some of these this month!
13.5/18 and 3 points lost are due to big cubes
Aiming for 16-17/18 ;)

My goals aren't far fetched at all(or so I think).

So here we go again, this time with more aims to fail on.

2x2: <4
3x3: <14, but this one isn't really to important
4x4: <1min, not really this shouldn't be to hard after allready failing in 2018
5x5: meh, not much of an aim, but global sub2 would be nice. Also don't practice it to much and instead focus on other events.

6x6, 7x7, megaminx, clock, feet: I'm just kidding. Did all of this official once and that's all.

Pyraminx: After much progress in 2018 have a global sub5.5 average. I wanted to say Podium, but that's just not really possible.
Skewb: I realized that this is just skewpid. There are no resolutions for this event.
Square-1: <25 would be cool. But probably without to much learning new algs. I should probably work on my cubeshape.

Now the important stuff:
3BLD: <1:10 consistantly, official sub1 and finally a mean. I wouldn't say 3Style Edges, even though it might be cool, but it's just so timeconsuming. But if I could find time for that in the summer that would be awesome.
4BLD: I don't want to practice that to much. But another podium and NR10 would be cool.
5BLD: Get a success officially so I can get into that silver-club
MBLD: Now we're talking important stuff. Come somewhat back into a practice-routine with frequent attemps. Fit at least 20 cubes into one hour and work on accuracy. Get that NR or at least NR3.

Additionaly I would like to: Podium in another event besides MBLD and Big-BLD (probably even a non-BLD-event?).

Also I just want to keep things as they are with periods of practicing that may or may not have dry-periods in between. It's okay as long as I still find myself enjoying cubing. And of course I should remind myself that cubing is just a fun hobby and studying is still more important.

Greetings to 2019 Bertus from Bertus!
