2017 New Year's Resolutions / Goals

[Isaac Lai]

Global/official/other stuff
2x2: low 2, sub 3, full EG
3x3: low 9, sub 10
4x4: sub 35, sub 40
5x5: ~1:10, sub 1:20
3BLD: sub 2, sub 2 single
OH: sub 15, sub 16, full COLL and 2GLL
FMC: idc/low 30
Megaminx: sub 45, NR (depends a lot on whether there are comps), half of PLL
Pyraminx, skewb: start practicing again, don't fail in comp
Square-1: sub 11, sub 12 (again, depends on comp availibility), learn CSP
4BLD, 5BLD: successes
MBLD: 10 points
Get a clock
Top 300 for sum of ranks

I will likely have more free time in the second half of next year, so I should hopefully be able to practice BLD events. Also a few of the official goals depend very much on whether I get to compete later in the year instead of just at Singapore Open in February.

[Shiv3r]

Im super late, but here is what I am shooting for:
-become sub-10 on 3x3(I am almost sub-15 after less than a year since starting, so I think it can happen)
-Become fast with OBLBL on 5x5 and prove to everyone that it is a viable fast method, hopefully getting others to follow suit
-Learn BLD
-Start a speedcubing club at my high school(Helix High)
-get my Youtube channel to be somewhat successful(link here )

 

[DGCubes]

A third of the way through the year. Let's see how I'm doing!

Bold text = my comments.

2x2 - sub-4 global Nope. Don't care about 2x2 all that much.
3x3 - sub-12 global, sub-10 average in comp Yes, I'm sub-12 global! No sub-10 average in comp, but I think a 10.80 is reasonably close.
4x4 - sub-50 global Basically yes. Right around 50.
5x5 - sub-1:40 global No, more around high 1:40s.
6x6 - sub-3:10 global No, around 3:25 to 3:35 depending on the day.
7x7 - sub-5:00 global No, but I have a 4:30 single, lol.
Pyra - sub-3 global, sub-1.5 single in comp, sub-2.5 average in comp None of these yet.
Mega - sub-1:00 global Nope. I think I've gotten worse.
Sq-1 - sub-15 global, sub-10 single in comp Nope, not even close.
Skewb - sub-6 global, sub-4 single in comp, sub-5 average in comp None of these.
Clock - sub-15 global Kinda close; around 16.
3x3 OH - sub-30 global Agh, hard to say. I was at one point, then I stopped practicing, and now I'm bad again.
3x3 BLD - sub-2:00 global, learn M2, use some commutators Kinda? My global is basically DNF, but successes are often sub-2. I do use M2 and can do some commutators but don't use them often.
3x3 Feet - sub-35 global, get NR or CR single or mean No.
3x3 FMC - sub-31 global, sub-30 single in comp No.
3x3 MBLD - 8 point PB or higher No.
4x4 BLD - sub-18:00 single, any official single 10:24 single, lol. No official single yet.
5x5 BLD - any success, preferably official Yes, but not official.

Other cubing goals:
Hit 40K subscribers on YouTube 31K right now. 40K's doable by the end of the year.
Have results in every event officially Still 16/18, although I can at least do them all at home.
Organize a competition Hopefully soon.

Other life goals:
Learn to drive Eyyyy, yeah. Passed the written test at least.
Get a 97.00 or higher GPA this school year (96.xx is fine, but 97 would be nice, lol) Aaaand, it's a 97.00 right now. Still some time left before the end of the year.
Do things Done.
Go to places Did that.
Meet people I guess?
Learn more programming languages Yeah, learned some PHP and SQL.
Solve a multitude of major world issues Not quite.
Pet my cats Yes, quite frequently.

Around 10.5 out of 29, or around 36%. Pretty good with 33% of the year done.

How'd the rest of y'all do?
