2x2: sub 5
3x3: sub 12 or average 12
4x4: get a aosu wr m so I can practice on a not terrible cube.
Megaminx: sub 2? I’m not sure what is doable for megaminx yet.
Blind: sub 3
 
2x2: Sub 4 Average
3x3: Sub 10 Average
4x4: Sub 40 Average
5x5: Sub 60 Average
OH: Sub 20 Average
3bld: Sub 60 mean
Mega: Sub 120 average
Pyra: Sub 5 Average
Skewb: Sub 7 Average

Learn to consistently plan EOCross in inspection on 3x3

Learn to consistently predict OLL in inspection on 2x2

Learn to solve Square-1 consistently

Learn to properly fingertrick SH and HS on Skewb

Improve

Sub-15 on 3x3 (~20 currently)

Sub-20 for OH (Sub-30 currently)

Sub 5ish for Pyraminx - (Sub-6.5 currently)

Since I don't see myself improving much between now and the end of the year, I'm going to look at my previous goals now.

3x3: Nope, I do know full PLL, though, and I am sub-17.
2x2: I'm sub-4.5, but have not learned CLL.
4x4: Yes
5x5: Yes
6x6: Easily, I'm around 5:00 right now
7x7: Got the MGC and average around 8:00
Pyraminx: Yes and no
Megaminx: Yep
Skewb: Nobody cares
Square-1: Yep
OH: Nope. I think it's the only goal that I didn't achieve.
Other:
Learned 3BLD and got my 2nd ever success today!
Once again, who knew what 2020 would become?
I'm at a total of 51, so that might increase after Christmas, so I'll update this again then.

Same, got my first success today during history class. I was so excited, but its history class.

Edit: I was done with my assignment, I wasn't doing it while the teacher was talking.
 
The year is almost over! Since the beginning of 2020, I've improved a ton at cubing, and also made 6 versions of my goals. :P Time to update, this time for the final time this year! I've been inactive for a few months, so I do expect many goals to be left unmet, but we'll see :)
