Goals for the Big 'n Weird Pretoria

Realistic goals:
3x3: Haven't practiced, doesn't matter. - Yup, didn't matter.
Feet: Don't DNF, get a mean. - First solve was close to DNF, but yup.
Square-1: Sub 50 single, sub 1:00 average. - Yup, easily.
6x6: Fully sub 6:00 mean - Yup, easily.
7x7: Sub 9:00 mean - Yup, easily.
FMC: Sub 40 mean - Yup, easily.
Run my first comp as a candidate delegate smoothly. - Yup, smoothest comp I've ever been to.

And because I set a goal to set more ambitious goals:
3x3: Sub 18.5 average - Nope.
Feet: Sub 4:00 mean - Nope. Not even close.
Square-1: Sub 40 single, sub 50 average - Almost got the single, but nope.
6x6: Sub 5:30 mean - Yup
7x7: Sub 8:00 single, sub 8:30 mean - Almost got the single, and yup for the average
FMC: 32 single, 36 mean. - Yup for the single, nope for the mean.

Perhaps my realistic goals are even easier to reach than I thought?

Finish 3-style before the end of the month. I only have a few edge comms left and I've been putting it off for way too long, might as well get it done now lol

 

[Matt11111]

....



Yeah, I'm lazy.

[G2013]

Main goal for the year:

Get NR on 2x2
I only have to go to 2 comps and I think I'll get it or I'll be close... but there aren't any comps close to my town

 

[Kudz]

Goals for beginning of February:
*3x3 sub 11 avg100(at least 50) - now 13/14 sub 12 globaly, really close to sub 11 imo tho so it's ok
*End learning process ROLL and be great at it.I got some problems.That what I ended is perfect tho
*Start using COLL (no S/AS)done, L is not worth it always imo
*Learn 2GLL/Line or other cool subset (no S/AS)full 2GLL
*sub 20 OH - now sub 25\kinda same, I wasn't doing OH
*sub 30 squan - now I avg ~1min25? or less
*make 24h solo cubing marathon (at least 18h)kinda
*staph ordering cubes from local shops do one big shopping in cubicle (need lube)I stopped, gotta wait for my need for cubes
*buy gan caps at local shop XDwhole gans 356 v2. 356 v1 is till better
*earn WCA ID till April (after over a year....)probably going to happen
*make finals in at least 3x3 and OH^
Also I need to got good marks to go to comps, so yeah^^lmao I'm doing better
Will actualize after big millstones

I'm happy with it
e: lol I said beggining. I meant ending tho XDDD

 

[Kudz]

Deadline:
End of school year
Goals:
-to avg 9.5 globally (at least)
-sub 9.1 ao12
-sub 8.7 ao5
Learn algs like this:
-1x1LLL + 1xVLS + 1x other alg daily
*5-6 days a week, other days- review and casual solving
-at least 2 algs for each OLL (+full ROLL)
-sq1 sub 20
-OH sub 20 or sub 18-17 if actually practicing
-do more 5x5
*if I will sub 1:40 globally (need to be sub my 4x4, cuz 4x4 suck)
-get better 5x5, more sq1 (too do ss mod too, not only gluing the core), stickers, lubes and even more 3x3
-film at least one good avg - upload it on my yt
*or just film avg
-don't solve 4x4
End school with good marks
*just stop being lazy
-play lessss cs(be better at cod mod XDDD)
Those goals should be super-easy to do (I hope so). Challenge for me: do 0.3-0.5s better than I expect from myself XDD

I want to learn CLL.

I'm thinking of doing a set every few days. However, I'm wary of going too fast because I've tried to learn CLL once before, went too fast, started getting confused between all the cases, and gave up.

Do you think this is a reasonable pace or should I take it slower - say, a set a week?

For reference, I learned full (3x3) OLL in about a month.

If you really want to, I think you could learn about 3-4 algs a day which is what I did for CMLL until I got bored but then I learned the S/AS sets at about the same rate afterwards.

I don't know. That's the speed I tried to go at before, and I remember the recognition was just not sticking at that pace. Perhaps I just wasn't drilling the algs enough.

How much time per day did you spend when learning 4 CMLLs a day?

I don't know. Just as long as I felt like. Try doing as many as you feel comfortable with each day. It can vary but you will be better off learning it that way.

Okay. I'm going to try to learn all the PI cases today and then drill them for the next few days. I think it's a good idea to memorize all the algs and recognition for the set at once. But if this method doesn't work well I will try breaking the sets up and doing a few algs a day.

I'll report back here at the end of today on the results.

I learned the CLL H cases yesterday (3/11). Progress: 6/42 (including the 2 pure PLLs)

I learned all 6 PI cases today (3/12) and drilled them for an hour and a half. They're coming along fairly well, but recognition is still a bit shaky. I also need to ingrain the algorithms better into my muscle memory so I don't have to think about the algs while executing them. I'll do more practice on these tomorrow and see if there is any improvement. Progress: 12/42

Edit: Did another half hour of practice on the PI set today (3/13). They are coming along well. I'm going to start on the U set tomorrow while continuing to practice the PI, hopefully. Progress: 12/42

Edit: Learned the U set today (3/14) and did an hour and a half of practice. About half of that time included the PI cases as well. I'm planning to spend tomorrow doing more practice on the Us and PIs, although I probably don't need to. I'm also going to figure out which algorithms I will use for the T cases. I'll probably learn the T cases the day after. Progress: 18/42

Edit: I learned the T set today (3/15) and now know more than half of CLL. I did 3 1/2 hours of drilling, 40 minutes of which was with the T set alone; the remainder incorporated the PI and U sets. I will probably let tomorrow be a practice day for the cases I've learned so far, but I may start on the L set if the others are coming along well. Progress: 24/42

Edit: Today (3/16) I did 2 hours of practice on the T, U, and PI sets. Tomorrow I plan to learn the L set. Progress: 24/42

Edit: Learned the L set today (3/17) and did 3 hours of practice, over an hour of which involved exclusively the L cases. I think I'll be moving on to the sune cases tomorrow, although I'll be quite busy and don't know how much practice I'll be able to get in. I'll probably end up spending two days on the sune, and starting the antisune on the 20th. Originally I had the idea that I might learn the sune and antisune sets simultaneously, given that the recognition is basically the same for both sets, but decided that would be too confusing. Progress: 30/42

Edit: I learned the sune set today (3/18) and did an hour and a half of drilling including an hour on the sune cases alone. I'll likely spend tomorrow practicing all the cases I've learned so far, and learn the antisune the day after. Progress: 36/42

Edit: I practiced all the cases for an hour today (3/19). Tomorrow I'll be learning the antisune set. Progress: 36/42

Edit: I learned the antisune set today (3/20) and practiced them for an hour. Progress: 42/42

 

[PurpleBanana]

Update: I have learned full 2x2 CLL. As you can see, I tracked my progress in the above post.
Now I just need to spend some time drilling all the algorithms.
