2014 New Year's Resolutions

0x0: Find, I lost it. Oh, there it is!
1x1: Build and solve sub 0.1.
2x2: Learn CLL and the other PBLs. Become sub-10.
3x3: Get a sub-25 PB and sub-40 averages. Learn full PLL. Learn another method.
4x4: Solve by memory in sub 5 (for end of 2013). For 2014: Greatly improve reduction (sub 2 at the least) then learn Hoya/Yau.
5x5: Get one and solve by memory in sub 4:30.
Cuboids: Learn basic solving method.
Pyraminx: Learn PTT (Permutation of Top Triangle, there's probably a proper name for it). Become sub 20.
Megaminx: Learn to solve (not sure how fast as I don't know the general speeds).
Bandanging Cube DIY set: Have fun.

Buy many more twisty puzzles and keep an interest in them.
Go to a competition just for fun.

Ummmm... some of these don't make much sense. Learn CLL before PBL (ortega)? Why would you want sub 10 and learn cll? You need to be at least sub 5 first to learn CLL, so if you want sub 10 remove CLL, or change it to sub4. Lol.

And for pyraminx, you should be sub 20 with no algs (monkeydudes method), probably in about ten minutes, not a year xD

They aren't really in order, just stuff to get done by the end of the year. I'm pretty slow on the 2x2 because of algorithm execution.

I'm not sure why I said sub-20 for the Pyraminx. My PB is 25 seconds but I've only recorded a time twice. And the goal isn't necessarily in a year.
 
Cubing:
2x2: Improve a bit
3x3: Global sub 12.5
4x4: Global sub 45
5x5-7x7: whatever
OH: Get decent
Feet: NRs
FMC: lol
Pyra: Sub 4 NR average
Clock: Sub 8 NR average
Square-1 Global sub 20
Megaminx: Get into the top 100
Skewb: Start practicing and get me average down to sub 10
3BLD: NR, get more accurate
4BLD: AsR, global sub 3:30
5BLD: AsR, global sub 7:30
MultiBLD: Improve at it and get sup 17 points
Overall:
Go to more comps, be the Asian Champ for 1 event (if Asian Champs gets held this year)
Stop failing at comps
