ClockIt Cubing Progression

How do you rotate events while practicing?
Typically I just have the urge to practice a random event at some random time, but with my main events Clock, FTO, and maybe 3x3 I will find some spare time in my day and do 30 minute practice per event, but when I don't have anything to do in a day I practice way more then an hour *recently FTO*
 
Starting to average sub-10 for Skewb :cool:

I have a competition in late September and I was wondering how I should practice these events:

2x2: average 5-6, goal: to be 4-5
3x3: Lower 20 second range, not much of a goal other then consistency
4x4: sub 1:40, goal: sub 1:30 (for cutoff)
5x5: High 3, goal: low 3
Pyra: 10-15, goal: finally to be consistent
Clock: mid 6, goal: make 7 second solves non existant
 
My new Dayan FTO came in and I just got a 36.11 PB single!

Edit: I also got PR average:

4 second 2x2 average PR

A goofy story I remember was when I was in 7th grade I was grinding 2x2 solves and I was averaging around 8 seconds and people *5-10 guys in my grade* were surrounding me at that point, and I got a 5 second single solve and they all freaked out. I have now averaged that : )
