3x3: sub-13, maybe look at learning VLS?
4x4: sub-48
5x5: not a high priority, official sub-1:40 avg
OH: again, not a priority, official sub-25 avg
3BLD: sub-1 global, take the next step after M2/OP (3-style? I'll figure out) Top priority right now

I'd like to learn 4BLD and try some MBLD as well, so hopefully I'll find some time for that.

In order of interest, probably 3BLD > 3x3 > 4x4 > 5x5 > OH

Learn 160 PTSD (Advanced ZZ-CT) algs by January.

I'm too old to worry about getting fast, so I just want to get as good as possible with my own method, because there's a weird sense of satisfaction that comes with doing something that you figured out yourself!

Going to be busy with other stuff for the first few months of next year, and not sure what I'll be doing after that. I'll try throwing some goals out there anyway and hopefully I can tick a few off at least by the end of next year.

sq1: finally settle on a post-cubeshape method and learn all the algs so I can practise sq1 again
3BLD: get back in top 100 official/sub-1 official mean
4BLD: average sub-5 again
5BLD: average sub-10
otherBLD: get megaBLD UWR again, get 7BLD success
4x4/6x6: learn recognition and the advanced algs for my latest parity method
clock: get decent with noflip (only if/when a good clock gets released)
mega: screw around with LSLL methods again and find something cool
other events: meh
