2015 New Years Resoultions / Goals

Goals:
2x2: actually start solving it more than 1 times a week and learn ortega.
3x3: learn full OLL and PLL and sub-25 and ultimately sub-20
4x4: buy a better 4x4 and starting solving it, sub-2
5x5: find my lost 5x5 because I know it's somewhere in my house
megaminx: learn to solve it

IRL:
Spend more time on school and learn more.
Find a job because I really need some money.
Quit smoking, it just costs to much money.
Start sporting again.
Have lots of fun.

I think this will do it
 
All global times
2x2: Sub-8
3x3: Sub-19
4x4: Sub-1:15
5x5 and mega: Sub-2:15
Pyra, skewb, clock, 6x6, 7x7: just practice more and improve
Square-1: finally learn to solve without alg sheets (? this one might not happen, little motivation but I thought I'd throw it in there)
3BLD: Sub-5:00
Learn more F2L tricks
replace bad algs with better more finger tricky ones
Attend 2 comps

You know what? I actually think after much thought that Randomno is right, I am selling myself short. I have had a huge breakthrough in the last couple of days (FINALLY!!!!!!) and something just clicked and I am now starting to get look ahead. I have been cubing for almost two years and although I have seen steady progress, I have been stuck for MONTHS around 22 seconds or so. Last couple of days I have jumped to almost sub-20 and feel its right around the corner. When things are going smoothly, I get 14's-15's with ease, so I am thinking that I can do this much better and more consistently.

tldr; 3x3: sub-17 global
4x4: sub-1
5x5: sub-2:30

You have a whole year for this. 21 secs > 19 secs isn't much.

Yes, I know but progress for me is VERY slow and due to TPS and practice time I can't imagine ever getting much below sub-18 and that seems a long way off. Slow to most I know, but for me it seems reasonable. I have been shooting for sub-20 forever and am still not there.
 
Official averages where applicable. Also global time aims I guess

2x2x2: sub-3.14, learn EG-1
3x3x3: sub-13.37, learn WV
4x4x4: sub-45
5x5x5: sub-1:40
6x6x6: sub-3:30
7x7x7: sub-5:30
3x3x3 OH: sub-25
3x3x3 BLD: learn 3-style, sub 3:30
3x3x3 WF: sub-1:30
FMC: learn how to do it properly, sub 35
Pyraminx: sub-5
Megaminx: sub-1:25

5x5-learn
pyraminx-learn

IRL:
get better grades
get more cubes :)
 
Updated Targets:

2x2 - Not really bothered, but <6 second global average would be nice
3x3 - Sub-15 Global Average
4x4 - Sub-1 Global Average
5x5 - Sub-1:50 Global Average
6x6 - Sub-3 Global Average (maybe pushing it idk)
7x7 - Sub-5 Global Average (same as above)

5BLD - nopenopenope
MBLD - 3/3
Skewb - Sub-15 Global Average
Pyraminx - Sub-10 Global Average
Megaminx - Sub-2 Global Average
3x3OH - Sub-30 Global Average

Other goals -
Attempt to modify a cube
Buy and complete a shape shifting puzzle
Buy new ear defenders because my currents ones stretch out 3.5 inches either side of my head and make me look ridiculous
Compete officially in every event other than FMC, Feet, 4BLD and 5BLD.
Make it to the final in 5x5 at a competition
