Well, as I'm back to school now I'd say now is a right time to say this is the deadline for my goals as the free time I've had is coming to an end. I learnt Advanced and have still remembered it, I learnt most of CLL but I haven't done much 2x2 do I've forgotten almost all of it. Not as productive as I would've liked, but it's not like I'm unable to learn these at a later date.

Become color neutral and be sub-15 by the end of 2020, I really need to take advantage of this quarantine for cubing.

2x2: Sub-5
3x3: Sub-10
4x4: Sub-1
That's all of my goals.
3x3: Sub-10
4x4: Sub-1

Get Sub 1 min on 3x3, my goal now, and also learn 4LLL and some F2L tips and tricks

Become sub 15 global and full color neutral (I'm quad color neutral for CFOP and x2 y for Roux Btw).
Finish off COLL
Finish at least T and U ZBLL before school actually starts
These are my goals
EDIT: I forgot about finishing off full EG. I know only ~10 cases
And of course, how could I forget about sub 30 global OH?
of course I'm a long way off. (Sub 70 atm) but still, I'd like to achieve it by the end of the year.

2020.11.10 Update. I've got a bad feeling about where Colorado COVID trends are these days so I'm setting a few new goals in anticipation of being at home EVEN MORE this winter.
Completed goals:
1) Learn & implement full PLL on 3x3 - Achieved!
4) Get 3x3 ao100 of 27s -Achieved!
5) Learn Ortega for 2x2 - Achieved!
6) Get a successful 3x3 BLD solve - Achieved! I'm going to focus on this a lot over the winter months.
7) Get a running ao1000 of 27s - Achieved!
12) Host a giveaway here on the forums - Achieved!
11) Evaluate and Inspect finger tricks for all PLL algs, find & practice improved fingertricks - Achieved! Definitely helped my averages & PLL splits.
8) Finish my cross exercise marathon - Achieved! I was not disciplined enough. I'll continue this work moving forward.
Ongoing:
2) Be able to see cross solutions during inspection ---> Need to be more diligent with this practice.
3) F2L efficiency & solving pairs form multiple angles ---> getting better every day! I've been doing slow solves. It is very helpful.
9) Solve my 3x3 mixup cube intuitively ---> I have not invested time in this...It keeps mocking me on my bookshelf! I'll try again soon.
10) Learn a more sophisticated form of edge pairing for big cubes...I currently just use a flipping alg over and over and over again.---> 0% progress
New Goals:
13) Learn full OLL. I've always wanted to learn this so I might as well do it now. I'm using the CubeHead calendar and am on day 10; 25/57 algs learned!
14) sub-20 ao5 - Current PB is 21.44
15) sub-25 ao1000 - current is 26.65
General Update:
I've been studying for an engineering licensure exam the last 4 months so I haven't had much time to cube. That is finally over and I've really been enjoying solving again. Non-WCA stuff is still super interesting to me and I love those casual solves. My collection keeps growing! I am going to be pretty diligent about 3x3 practice this winter and am looking forward to making some more big leaps in my averages.

My goal is complete the 5-style edges algset. It has 126,720 algs from the UF buffer and it is an extension to 3-style. I started working on it in 2017, R' F U2 S R S' R' U2 F' R .

Dang, how many do you know rn?

I have generated about 60k, not sure about how many I confidently know to recall and execute them in a solve.

I thought I posted here back when it was made but I guess not.
2x2: no real goal, maybe learn ortega, but idc about 2x2
3x3: get a sub 20 ao100, right now I average about 20 or 21. I’m learning full OLL and PLL
4x4: finish learning yau, hopefully get sub 1:30 currently averaging about 1:40 and stop using my weird redux/yau method that I call yaudux
5x5: do more 5x5 solves (I only have like 20 solves in my sesssion). I could probably get faster.
3BLD: I really want to learn 3BLD, so it would be great if someone could give me a good method for beginners, because I know there’s like a billion methods out the for blind.
3x3 OH: get a smaller cube so I can hopefully start averaging under a minute. Currently averaging about 1:20 with a full size 3x3.
Clock: clock seems like a really fun event to me, and I hope to get a clock to try it out.
If anyone has convincing reasons to do skewb, squan, pyra, and big cubes I’m open to them.

a good and easy method for 3bld is Old pochman for edges and corners(jperm tutorial)

Thanks. You know a good cube to use? I’m definitely gonna use a snickered one because after I write all over the stickers I can just. get new ones.

don't write on the cube you will use, write on another cube for reference, since you need to just know the lettering scheme. Maybe write on a rubiks brand or a cube you will never solve on. I use the WRM 2020 for BLD. A common mistake is that people think you need to use the cube you are writing on, you just need it for reference to look at the points where the letters are.
